"Cops responding to a 911 call found Coleman faceup in a pool of blood with a knife next to him under scaffolding outside a main entrance to one of the Hughes Houses buildings. He was conscious and talking but refused to cooperate with police and tell them who stabbed him, police sources said. "He never gonna name anybody that did anything to him," his ex said, describing that as part of his "jail mentality.""
"Coleman, who went by the nickname "Five," was sentenced to up to 6½ years in prison for a Brooklyn assault conviction and was released on parole in March 2024, records show. Medics rushed him to Brookdale University Hospital, where he later died. Ware rushed to the hospital, where she heard Coleman alert and speaking to doctors but wasn't allowed to see him, she says. "I asked him, 'Can y'all just let him know I'm here? Just let him know he's not by his self. He so used to being by himself, just tell him he's not by himself.' They wouldn't even tell him," Ware said."
Kevin Coleman, 48, was stabbed multiple times at about 5:30 p.m. while visiting the Langston Hughes Houses in Brownsville. Responding officers found him faceup in a pool of blood with a knife nearby under scaffolding outside a building entrance. He was conscious and speaking but refused to tell police who attacked him. Coleman had recently been released on parole in March 2024 after an assault conviction. Medics transported him to Brookdale University Hospital, where he later died. His ex-girlfriend Saywon Ware says they had separated about a month earlier and that Coleman leaves behind four children, including a 20-year-old daughter and a 17-year-old son.
