Kidada Stewert, 48, was shot and killed in the front yard of her Las Vegas home on the morning of February 27, 2023. Neighbors heard gunfire around 9:07 a.m. in the 9800 block of Venus Lake Court and found Stewert in the yard; she was taken to University Medical Center and pronounced dead. Surveillance showed a red Hyundai Sonata with a faulty right brake light near the house just before the shooting. A man dressed all in black exited the vehicle, approached Stewert as she returned home, fired multiple shots, and fled.

Stewert’s girlfriend, inside the residence, heard the shots, saw a red car speeding away, and called 911. Investigators later identified the Hyundai and its driver as 39-year-old Michael Coleman; he was arrested on May 4, 2023, and charged with open murder with a deadly weapon after a SWAT standoff. Police allege Coleman acted as a hitman for a man named Carl Chester in a Paycheck Protection Program loan fraud scheme and that Stewert was killed because she was a family member of someone involved.

Does anyone have information about Stewert, her family connections, or the red Hyundai seen that morning?
