GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Opening statements are set to begin Wednesday for the new trial for three men accused of killing a father and football coach at a gas station.
Bradley Coleman, 29, died on July 10, 2022 after he was attacked at a QT gas station in Peachtree Corners. Police later arrested three suspects: Josiah Hughley, David Booker and Miles Collins.
Investigators said that Coleman was attempting to put air in his tire on the passenger side of his car when three suspects backed into a parking space next to him. Police said the suspects got out of the car and shot and killed Coleman.

A judge declared a mistrial for the men back in Oct. 2023 “due to a technical issue within the legal proceedings.”
On Monday, jury selection began for the re-trial. Opening statements will begin at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

Coleman was a football coach at Peachtree Ridge High School and a father of a little girl. He had also started his own clothing line, called Pascher, at the time of his death.
“The people who did this to him, we pray to God, and we believe the God that we serve, that they will be brought to justice and that they will pay,” Venetia Coleman said about her son in 2022. “They will pay because he wasn’t any kind of man, he was a man of integrity, he was somebody’s father, and you just didn’t take anybody you took God’s man.”
“He taught me how to be a man. He taught me how to stand up for myself and not to let nobody in this world, change who you are,” one of Coleman’s former players told Channel 2 Action News in 2022.
