John Thomas Coleman Jr., 50, was found shot to death inside his Charleston, West Virginia, apartment in the 1700 block of Seventh Avenue on June 18, 2016. A neighbor who had not heard from him that day checked on Coleman and discovered his body at about 5 p.m. Police immediately treated the death as a homicide and later confirmed he had been shot at least once; investigators said the shooting was not a suicide.

Coleman lived alone and was described as quiet and generally well-liked. His mother, Shirley Daniels, said she had never known him to have an enemy and that he had been happy about his new residence. Neighbors recalled that visitors to his apartment could sometimes be noisy at night, with arguing and shouting, but nothing publicly reported established whether those visitors were connected to the killing. Detectives reconstructed Coleman’s final days, interviewed acquaintances and said they were pursuing a lead while keeping most evidence confidential.

Did anyone in the neighborhood or anyone who knew Coleman notice something unusual in the days before June 18, 2016?
