Killa City: DeJuan A. Suttington charged with killing Rodney S. Coleman

Jackson County prosecutors charged DeJuan A. Suttington in the death of Rodney S. Coleman last week, The Kansas City Star reports.

Prosecutors charged Suttington, 20, with first-degree murder and armed criminal action.

Police found Coleman, 18, shot to death in the street at 4005 St. John on October 7 around 11 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Later, an autopsy revealed that Coleman was shot three times, including twice in the head.

A witness told police that he saw a man chasing and shooting at Coleman. The witness saw Coleman fall, and then saw the shooter run toward Jackson Avenue when “a heavy set white female” yelled to the suspected shooter, “Come on, let’s go.”

A caller to the TIPS Hotline told police that a white man, a black man and an overweight white woman were seen fleeing the scene and entered a residence at 202 S. Jackson after the woman shouted, “Get in the house, hurry up.”
