On the evening of Saturday, February 18, 2023, 27-year-old Darionte Coleman was shot multiple times on Terrier Court in the Bon Air neighborhood of Louisville, near Heather Lane and Bardstown Road. Officers arrived shortly before 8:30 p.m.; Coleman was pronounced dead at the scene by the Jefferson County Coroner’s Office. Investigators recovered several .22 caliber shell casings where the shooting occurred.

Police reported seeing a black sedan leave the area with its headlights off immediately after the shooting. The driver, identified as 29-year-old Deterrius Brown, led officers on a high-speed chase down Bardstown Road and onto the Watterson Expressway, with speeds reportedly near 100 miles per hour before crashing after exiting onto Taylor Boulevard. Brown was arrested at the crash site. Officers say he confessed to the killing and a .22 caliber rifle was found in the sedan, consistent with the casings at the scene. He was charged with murder and fleeing or evading police; a not-guilty plea was entered on his behalf and bond was set at $250,000.

Coleman lived in the Wyandotte/Oakdale neighborhood, several miles from where he was killed. Is there anyone who knew Darionte or who may have seen the black sedan in Bon Air that night who can help fill in what happened?
