Murder Discovered After Suicide

"CHICAGO, IL - A woman found murdered in a Garfield Park apartment early Friday on the West Side was possibly shot to death by her husband—who then took his own life.

"Claudette Coleman, 30, was found fatally shot in her home at 3429 W. Madison St. early Friday, a spokesman for the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said. She was shot multiple times, police said.

"Police responded to the Madison Street apartment building just before 2 a.m. -- three hours after Coleman’s husband was found with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on the street in the 3300 block of W. Monroe St., police said.

"Antwone Coleman, 28, of the Madison Street address, reportedly shot himself and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m., according to the medical examiner’s office. Police responded to the shooting at 11 p.m. Thursday. A weapon was recovered at the scene, said News Affairs Officer Robert Perez.

"As police investigated Antwone Coleman’s apparent suicide, they found Claudette’s body in the couple's home. She was pronounced dead on the scene at 4:40 a.m., and it was unclear what time the murder occurred.

"The incident appears to be a murder-suicide, according to a source. The pair were married in October, Perez said."
