""Though he may no longer be with us physically, his spirit, impact, and memories will live on in our hearts forever. [He] was more than a student-athlete - he was a brother, a teammate, and a cherished part of our community.""
""I heard a lot of noise. I thought it was just school kids. They argue. They are loud, and I didn't think much of it. It's sad the young man lost his life.""

Coleman was a standout on the Sheepshead Bay Sharks football team, which recently won a city championship.
