Steven Coleman, a 32-year-old African American man, was fatally shot in the head while he slept on the night of August 16, 2017, in Baytown, Texas. The shooter was his girlfriend, Cierra Sutton, who admitted to the killing. After the shooting Sutton dismembered Coleman’s body with a machete and discarded the pieces in dumpsters around her apartment complex because his body was too heavy to carry. Sutton first reported Coleman missing to Baytown police; investigators grew suspicious when both of Coleman’s vehicles remained at the complex and his credit cards were later used at a Harris County Walmart.

Surveillance footage captured Sutton buying duct tape and a mattress pad with Coleman’s card. Sutton was arrested in Louisiana and charged with murder. In February 2019 she was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Coleman’s family have criticized media and production companies for what they say are exploitative and false portrayals of Steven in documentaries and have asked those productions to stop.

Did anyone who knew Steven or his routine in Baytown have information that might help clarify unanswered details?
