On February 7, 2025, a 35-year-old male was backing out of his driveway near East 174th Street and Edgewood Avenue in Cleveland. A 36-year-old female was in the passenger seat and her 10-year-old son, Kaden Coleman, was in the backseat. Jeffrey Grant and an unknown male drove to the residence in a rental car and approached the vehicle. They shot the vehicle multiple times and then fled the scene. One of the bullets struck Kaden Coleman in the head.

The male and female then drove Kaden to Cleveland’s Fourth District police station where he was transported to a nearby hospital and pronounced deceased.

After further investigation, the police executed a search warrant on February 10, 2025, to a residence in Maple Heights. They discovered a drug lab in the basement with large amount of drugs including over 550 grams of cocaine.  Lanaemarshe Grant and Jeffrey Grant were present and arrested. Surveillance footage, clothing, and the rental car linked Jeffrey Grant and Lanaemarshe Grant to the homicide.
