Christopher Deandre Coleman, 41, was found shot to death in the driveway of a vacant house on Maple Avenue Southwest in Birmingham, Alabama, on April 13, 2024. Officers arrived about 11:10 p.m. after a 911 call about a tow truck backed into the property; the truck was still running when Coleman was discovered. He owned a local towing company.Coleman’s family described him as a devoted husband, father and grandfather who was planning to move out of state with his wife Lisa.

They said he tried to put past problems behind him and focus on family; relatives expressed shock and confusion at why anyone would harm him.The Birmingham Police Department opened a homicide investigation; no arrests have been announced. In late April police released video of a person of interest walking down a driveway and asked for the public’s help.

Does anyone who knew Coleman or who was in the Maple Avenue area that night have information to share?
