California Roots
Before moving to Providence, GoLocal has learned that he lived in Harbor City, California. The neighborhood is a diverse community in the Los Angeles harbor region — it has a population of 36,000.
Coleman's personal website says that the attended California State University Long Beach -- a school with over 37,000 students.
Prior to Harbor City, Coleman claimed to live in Los Alamitos, California — a town of just 11,000 located in Orange County.
Individuals with first-hand knowledge say Coleman is 6-feet tall and weighs about 200 or more pounds. He is a man more than 90 pounds larger than the petite Corriea — the mother of a young toddler — that he is charged with kidnapping and dismembering.
WBZ spoke to a member of the Coleman family who told the station, “Growing up he was always (someone) that everyone wanted to be like, he had all the games, all the toys, he grew up in a nice house.” The family member who agreed to be interviewed but was not identified says he grew up with Coleman and he comes from a good family and has a Master’s Degree in physics.
Scientist, Innovator and Suspected Murderer
Coleman self-described himself on his website as “Louis Coleman — Developer, Engineer, Physicist.”
“Louis Coleman encourages clients to rethink their design, process, and service by helping them break free from preconceived ideas, refresh team creativity with solutions that make the final product and research highly competitive, and maximize savings passed on to consumers by helping management minimize project risk,” states his website.
But, GoLocal has learned that previous to working at Raytheon, Coleman drove for the ride-sharing company Lyft.
A GoFundMe account has been set up to support Corriea's two-year-old daughter. SEE HERE
