Witnesses described a person wearing a ski mask and a black jacket fleeing towards Main Street. Responding officers located Terrel Coleman, 31, concealed in bushes in the 800 block of Main Street. Upon instructing him to stand, authorities discovered a black jacket, ski mask, and a 9mm pistol nearby. Nine spent 9mm rounds were found nearby, along with three more in the gun's magazine. Despite Coleman's denial, evidence indicated his involvement.
