On Dec. 29, 2016, Plainfield police responded to Seafood Rama and found Coleman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, Union County Prosecutor William A. Daniel and Plainfield Police Director James Abney said. Coleman was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

Authorities are attempting to locate a person of interest who was at the scene of the time of the murder. The individual, who can be seen exiting and entering the passenger side of what seems to be a small Volkswagon sedan parked outside the restaurant around the time of the shooting, was wearing bright blue pants, white sneakers, a dark facial covering, and a hooded sweatshirt that appears to be black on the bottom and light gray on the top, authorities said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Union County Prosecutor’s Office’s Homicide Task Force Sergeant Keyla Live at 908-527-4514 or Detective Richard Acosta at 908-527-4624.
