Raven Coleman was 29 and a mother of three when she was shot dead in the early morning hours of October 30, 2021. Police responded about 3:20 a.m. to a domestic dispute on Wayburn Avenue in Detroit and found her in a driveway with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest; emergency medical services pronounced her dead at the scene.

Friends said she had been planning her wedding, had recently shopped for dresses and posted happily on social media the day before her death. A verbal argument with her fiancé, 29-year-old Tereyl Devon Coleman, is reported to have escalated; it is alleged he fired a handgun, fatally wounding her. A friend said a call to Raven shortly before the shooting went unanswered.

Tereyl Devon Coleman was arrested and on November 2, 2021 the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office charged him with one count of second-degree murder and one count of felony firearm; he was arraigned in the 36th District Court and further proceedings were scheduled. If anyone knew Raven or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
