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."
A third witness told police that he was inside the residence at 202 S.
Jackson when Suttington alleged entered the home and asked the witness
to go with him to see if the man walking down the street was the same
guy who allegedly robbed Suttington's girlfriend and the witness'
mother a month earlier.
The witness told detectives that he went
with Suttington and watched him confront Coleman. Then Suttington's
girlfriend, 20-year-old Kasandra R. Pulley, arrived, allegedly
got in Coleman's face, taunted him and accused him of robbing her.
Coleman denied the claims, the witness said, but Suttington allegedly
pulled out a semi-automatic pistol and shot at Coleman.
Coleman ran. Later, Suttington allegedly told the witness that he
missed with his first two shots but hit Coleman with the third. Once
Coleman was on the ground, Suttington allegedly shot him in the head.
Suttington was arrested on October 13, and denied involvement in the homicide.
Pulley was also arrested on October 13. She demanded an attorney and refused to talk. She has yet to be charged with a crime.

you hard enough to get on here and be an internet gangster but left ur name anon...dont wanna be known cause u know wat it is....so smoked crack never....u got me so messed up but its good if postin ur lil comment is wats gonna help u sleep at night...sad to see u point out ur crack headed insecurities in everyone else but thats life! so fuck u and how u feel and how anyone else feels about it..it happened and it cant be changed sad and heartbreakin in so many ways...its all in gods hands..judge if u choose it still dont mean shit at the end of the day
look nothing is as it seams dejaun got set up his girl didnt get robbed she smoked her money up ya thats right she bought crack with it than went and told dejaun that she got robbed the real murders are kasandra rose pulley and that other bitch
Man my cuz is innocent tht lil nikcuh aint shit everybody knows he wuz a stikc up artist so fukc him n his family ya'll wnt to sit up n point fingers n thro names wen ya'll aint lookin at the fact ok yea frodney did do tht so if tht happen tu me wud wud i do u aint gon wnt tu call da dikcz.....
everyone in life has their own opinions and own views on everything generally how they were raised and the views n opinions their parents taught them....its been almost ten months now and my son is payin consiquences of several peoples reactions to a situation taken completly too far....along with myself, dejuan, neil, a mother, father, possibly a brother or sister..and thats just the tip of the iceberg...this is some real stuff it isnt the game we all try so hard to turn it into...real, yes very much so, protective..yes very much so, selfish at times...who isnt? there isnt now nor is there ever gonna be a winner in this situation or any other situation similar cause at the end of the day even if it is onli one person who leaves hurt there is alredi a loss and we are startin out with several people alredi sufferin...missin...prayin... and that fake stuff about me turnin ne1 n for ne thing...did u read the article, that shoulda told u summin off tops...as for talkin down on someone who is no longer around to defend themself..we all have skeletons...some more serious n a lot larger than others..
And to David Troutman..dejuan looked at u like a dad to him since he was nine and u started helpin him. with that said after 11 yrs of knowin dejuan how in ur heart can u honestly say he had n e thing to do w ur credit card at all..u even went so low below the belt when after he saw it sittin out told me not to talk to him ever again in his life and left. returned ur card n was gonna tell u bout it when he got off work because when he got home from school u werent there for him to talk to but instead of comin back home to a place to live u send him on his way n cancel his job n school when he knew nothin bout it. u stoped him from graduatin when he was tryin to do the rite thing never did he swipe that card n if he got somethin that was bought with it...it was because his girlfriend was payin for it all in his eyes... bein as thats wat he was informed of. and ur fat piece of shit white mouth words are wat got u in that predicament. now by the time ur house got robbed there was alredi so much bad stuff goin on that when u set him up
I tried to raise this ki since he was 9 yrs old. the overweight (fat white chick) should be tried as guilty as Dejaun is. Cassandra Pulley is as guity ad zDejuan She has no problem spending on my credit card as he did. They robbed my house and her parents turned them in. That fat white chick is as guilty as Dejuan. Shame on you fat white waste of life you should do jail time if not more that Dejuan. You're parent's are so disapointed in you as they should be. You spent $3000 of dollars on shoes and you still call him innocent? I hope you read this in jail you fat piece of white trash

That sucks. Do u know how long He's facing? I know your missin him.
it went like this, i had my little sisters borfriend livin with us because he had no where to go. and my baby dad was the only one workin supportin all us and the baby. this shit happend when he got off work when we were walkin to the store....about a week later detects are at my house wantin to talk to me. so i go down and talk they release me and take me home. niel found out (my sisters boyfriend) i got questioned and the detects didnt even know who he was because they asked i never told, my babys dad goes while im bein questioned and told him to turn himself in because it was messin with our family...he goes down town turns himself in and turns the story around on my babies dad and makes the witness statement sayin dejuan did it. now this is where were at. crazy!!! wrong and fucked up...my mistake was keepin my mouth shut, now its tearin my family apart over some stupid decisions and no one thinkin!
Hold on I'm confused.....did another man get arrested along with him or just your man?

i am sorry that you guys are so close minded and not oppened to the evidence as i am...you dont kill over a girlfriend, you stupidly kill over ur mama. now this boy turns himself in without knowin the police want him for the murder of the man who robbed his mom and claims to have been there and not did anythin but says dejuan does it. you tell me! i was there and i admitt i made a mistake by approchin him about robbin me at knife point referin to himself as cane...but he was wrong for doin it as well but never wrong enough to justify bein killed...dejuan would never do that!!
Girl get a reality check u was there u know he did it. U should be locked up for accessory to murder
It is what it is. He killed me ex, my friend, a son, a
a brother ect...he will be punished for killing rodney. He wanted to punish rodney for something stupid and killed him without thinking twice. I hope he gets what he deserves.
not everything is always what it seems....this is nothing like it seems and i understand you probably wont believe me and i understand that you are all hurt and feeling bad but dejuan did not do it, and any one who knew him knows that he would never do any thing like this. he is a hard working man who did nothing for the past two years but take care of his family whom is also now havin to suffer. i know i could never feel how anyone who knew this man feels but at the same time heinz sight is 20/20....this is all a big misunderstanding
THANK GOD THE PERSON THAT DID THIS HAS BEEN CAUGHT. RODNEY WILL BE MISSED
This incident has restored my faith in the justice system. Thank God for his wonderful power. He has allowed our family to find peace. My heart cries out for all involved. I know that God will give the young man's mother the strength she needs to get through this.
I worked with Rodney and this man was a good man a honest man. He could put a smile on our faces, My prayers are with his family.
I'm very sorry this happend to rodney. He use to live next door to me and we worked together for awhile. Keep your head up niecy.
Thank God ! Niecy, I will continue to pray for you and your family. That was a terrible thing to happen. I am so happy that they caught these people.
