Serial Killer Suspect Faces New Charges

Las Vegas, NV – Michael Coleman, the man accused of a series of murders that occurred in 2021 and 2022, is scheduled to appear in court on Monday morning.
Coleman, 40, was already facing charges for the murder of a woman last year. However, the Clark County District Attorney’s Office recently filed seven additional charges against him, including three counts each of murder and conspiracy to commit murder, and one count of attempted murder.
Investigators have revealed that Coleman was not acting alone, but was working in tandem with Carl Chester, who was later killed in retaliation for one of the murders Coleman committed.
Lt. Jason Johansson of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department explained that Chester often resorted to threats or violence to obtain his share of money from individuals who failed to repay loans.
Police have also linked Coleman to another shooting in the northwest part of the valley in 2021. While details of that case remain undisclosed, detectives believe the victim was targeted through Chester.
Coleman was arrested last year for the murder of Kidada Stewart. Subsequent investigations into his email accounts revealed evidence connecting him to the murders of William Hill and Marcus Larry.
Police found that Coleman had tracked the victims’ movements, monitored their homes, and ambushed them in targeted shootings. The evidence against Coleman includes firearms matching those used in the murders, tracking devices found on the victims’ vehicles, and photographic evidence of the victims’ homes.
As the case progresses, Coleman will face multiple charges and potential life imprisonment.
