Lemroy Coleman, 33, was fatally shot outside the American Legion Post 89 in East Wheeling during the early morning hours of October 9, 2015. Police were dispatched about 1:20 a.m. after reports of multiple shots near Jacob Street. Coleman was found critically wounded in an alley between Jacob and Eoff streets, taken to Ohio Valley Medical Center, and pronounced dead; the medical examiner ruled the death a homicide due to a gunshot that caused extensive internal bleeding.

Surveillance footage from around the Legion captured much of the incident. Court records describe Coleman and a friend, Norman Banks, leaving the bar after Dallas Michael Dal Acoff arrived; footage showed Acoff firing toward them from the building’s stairs, Coleman returning fire, and the two men running toward the alley. Banks was shot in the leg and sought help at the Wheeling Police Department; officers then found Coleman mortally wounded. Acoff was arrested and initially convicted of second-degree murder and related charges, but later developments in the case raised questions about who fired the fatal shot. Does anyone have information about Coleman’s movements that night or about witnesses who were near the Legion on October 9, 2015?
