In Gwinnett County, Georgia, three men accused of being gang members have returned to court, facing charges for the tragic death of Bradley Coleman, a man from New Orleans. This heartbreaking case stems from a botched carjacking that happened nearly three years ago at a QT gas station in Peachtree Corners.
The story of this case is a long and emotional one. Bradley Coleman had been visiting his parents in the area with their granddaughter when the incident took place. Prosecutors say the three accused—Josiah Hughley, David Booker, and Miles Collins—attacked Coleman in July 2022, leading to a violent struggle that ended in his death.
This isn’t the first time the case has been in court. Back in 2023, a trial was underway, but it ended in a mistrial because of an error made by the prosecution. Now, the case is back in the courtroom, and everyone involved is hoping for answers and justice.
During the trial, two eyewitnesses shared what they saw that day. Andrea Page Smith said she heard screeching tires and a loud crash before noticing a group of men struggling near a parked car. Moments later, she heard a gunshot. However, Smith admitted during cross-examination that she didn’t see a gun or who fired it. Another witness, Owen Waites, recalled seeing Bradley Coleman fall after the gunshot and called 911. He also mentioned spotting a black car in the area, but like Smith, he couldn’t identify the shooter.
Despite these accounts, many questions remain unanswered. Who fired the shot? What exactly happened in those chaotic moments? These details are still unclear, leaving a gap in the full story of that tragic day.
As the trial continues, more evidence and testimony will come to light. The courtroom is now the center stage for uncovering the truth and seeking justice for Bradley Coleman and his grieving family. All eyes are on this case as it moves forward, with the hope that clarity and accountability will finally be achieved.
