A possible motive was also revealed Wednesday. According to authorities, Coleman was a drug dealer who would sometimes have up to $100,000 in his home.
Based on their review of cell phone records, authorities believe the suspects — who are all from Philadelphia — travelled down to Virginia on May 25, stayed one night in a motel and returned to Philadelphia on May 26 after the killings.
A video discovered on one of the men’s phones allegedly showed the suspects at a strip club days later with large stacks of money.
At the time of their arrests, all the suspects, except Green, were already behind bars on unrelated charges. James Myers and Jamal Bailey are awaiting a preliminary hearing.
Hearings for the suspects has been delayed multiple times, with prosecutors asking that all three suspects have their hearing at the same time, reportsThe Free Lance-Star.
Attorney information for the suspects was not available Friday.
