Vincent Bernard Coleman Jr., 28, was shot and killed outside a business on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Muncie in the early hours of Sunday, May 31, 2026. He was transported to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead; two other men, ages 30 and 40, were also wounded—one in stable condition and the other flown to an Indianapolis hospital in serious condition.

Coleman was a Muncie Central High School graduate, a promoted construction worker, a musician, and a family man who mentored children in football. His family said he was usually a homebody, making his presence at a large gathering at Hi-Lows that night unusual. They had buried his sister 331 days earlier and now seek justice as the community reels from a second deadly triple shooting in three weeks.

As of early June 2026 the Muncie Police Department had no suspects or motive and the investigation remained active; a responding Delaware County Sheriff’s deputy fired at a vehicle at the scene, an action now being investigated separately by the Indiana State Police. If anyone was at Hi-Lows that night or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
