Detectives interviewed Coleman, who said he went to the area that day to buy marijuana from the victim. He said as he was leaving, the victim grabbed him, threw him to the ground and said, "I want that chocolate (expletive)." Coleman said he pushed the victim away, pulled out his gun and shot the victim once in the chest, prosecutors say. He then said he ransacked the home, looking for guns and money, finding none.
Prosecutors say Coleman identified himself in surveillance video from a neighboring home.
