LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Videos the 8 News Now Investigators obtained show an alleged hit man committing four murders as part of what detectives said was retaliation in a federal loan fraud scheme involving tens of millions of dollars.

Officers arrested Michael Coleman, 41, in May 2023 for the murder of Kidada Stewart, 48. In September, Las Vegas Metro police announced they connected Coleman to three more murders from 2021 and 2022. Earlier this month, a Clark County grand jury indicted Coleman for the additional murders.

On Monday, Feb 27, 2023, officers responded to a 911 from a person who said they heard several gunshots near Fort Apache Road and Mountains Edge Way in the southwest valley, 8 News Now reported at the time.

Officers later found Stewart deceased outside of a home. Police tracked Coleman to Stewart’s murder from a traffic stop in Arizona 12 hours after the shooting. Officers arrested him in May 2023 after a standoff.

Throughout the investigation, police learned of a man named Carl Chester who allegedly defrauded the government of several Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, LVMPD Lt. Jason Johannson said. Chester and his associates would disperse the money and Chester would take a cut of the money for his work and help to get them the loan.

When Chester did not receive his cut of the money, he would threaten or use violence against the individuals to get his money, Johannson said. Chester would hire Coleman to kill those who shorted Chester of his money and if Coleman could not get to the targeted person, he would go after family members.

In May 2021, police suspect Coleman killed Benjamin McCarty, 49, while McCarty was working on his car in a parking lot in the 3900 block of Charleston Boulevard. Police said Coleman parked near McCarty and approached him before shooting and killing him.

Evidence the 8 News Now Investigators obtained showed video of a man police believe is Coleman running from the murder scene. Detectives also obtained photos from Coleman’s email, which they said showed him sending McCarty’s picture to Chester before the murder.

Coleman’s second murder charge involves the death of Marcus Larry, 39. Larry was shot multiple times inside the Teriyaki Madness on Charleston Boulevard near Town Center Drive. Police initially identified and arrested Oscar Richardson, Jr., Larry’s cousin, as the suspect, but he was later released once police obtained evidence that he was innocent.

Video from inside the restaurant shows Larry and a minor ordering food when a man barges in and shoots Larry and a cashier. The cashier survived and told the grand jury she spent five weeks in the hospital.

After the murder, police believe Coleman ditched the car he was driving at the nearby Red Rock Resort. DNA on the van’s handles later matched Coleman, police said.

In the third murder, Coleman is accused of shooting and killing William Hill Jr., 54, outside his home near Martin Luther King, Jr. and Lake Mead boulevards.

Police said the same red Hyundai that was used in Stewart’s case dropped Coleman off and Coleman shot Hill before being picked up by the Hyundai. The getaway driver was identified as Demarcus Banks who is now deceased.

Videos show the car parking near Hill’s house and then a man, who police believe is Coleman, walking toward the house.

Police said Hill’s murder was due to Hill’s son who is currently in prison on PPP loan fraud. Police said since Chester could not get to Hill’s son, they went after his father.

Chester, who organized the murders of Stewart, Larry and Hill, was murdered in May 2024 by members of Hill’s family in retaliation, police said. Metro police recently made more arrests connected to Chester’s murder.

Coleman remained in custody without bail as of Monday. A trial in the Stewart murder was scheduled to begin next month. Coleman was also scheduled to be arraigned in the combined criminal case for the three other murder charges next month.

Death of Luther McCarty: Ten Seconds of Light

May 24, 1913 was always going to be a memorable day; it is doubtful that anyone in attendance would have foreseen just how memorable it turned out to be.

Two years prior to this day, heavyweight boxing’s latest ‘Great White Hope’ first donned a pair of boxing gloves and began a short but meteoric career. Luther McCarty had grown up quickly and when he came of age, he stood at an impressive 6’4” and had developed a strong left arm jab that had a reach of 80”. It was on 7 January 1911 that the 18 year old made his professional boxing debut and made short work of his opponent, Watt Adams, winning inside two rounds with a knockout. During the rest of that year, Lute – as he was often nicknamed – had seven more boxing matches. The first of these was against the legend, Joe Grim, who had a famed iron-chin. This one ended in a draw, but the young fighter spent much of the bout trying to knockout the ‘toughest man on Earth’. Of the other six bouts, only one failed to register another knockout.

McCarty’s reputation grew over the following year and even in this fledgling boxing career, a superstar was beginning to emerge and he was cited as being a real contender against the formidable Jack Johnson. Comparisons between Luther McCarty and John L Sullivan were already being made and the future looked very bright for the pugilist. As talented as he was inside the ring, McCarty did lack in experience somewhat. Throughout 1912, matches were arranged and many of these were won decisively. Many other heavyweight contenders of the time stood little to no chance when put in front of McCarty.

Such was the dominance of Lute, that a championship bout was arranged for New Year’s Day 1913. The current White World Heavyweight Champion of the time was a fighter called Al Palzer. Once again, the impressive McCarty won the match and the title, but only on a TKO in the 18th round. Palzer might not have been able to compete with McCarty, but he did fare better than most. Several more victories followed on, some of them rematches from 1911, until promoters saw value in a dream match between McCarty and Johnson. Unfortunately, McCarty never got to test himself against the other great heavyweight of the time.

McCarty had a scheduled title defense against Arthur Pelkey in something called a stay busy fight. As the boxers were about to be introduced, a local minister took to the ring in order to make an announcement to the 6000 strong audience:

“I know you men are going to help us buy a bell for our church. Your silver tokens will buy a memento for God’s house and it will be a credit to you on the Great Ledger. Everyone must have credit in his Ledger, for who knows whom the Great Referee will call home at any moment?”

The bout began and failed to get beyond the end of the first round. When a light punch landed just above McCarty’s heart, he collapsed and was counted out. The referee, Ed Smith, quickly realized that something was terribly wrong and summoned medical support that was on standby. After eight minutes, McCarty was declared dead. Pelkey was just as bemused and concerned about McCarty’s fate as anyone. A coroner’s report later determined that the cause of death was likely to be an accident suffered in a horse-riding incident some time prior to the fight taking place.

What sets this boxing match apart from any other throughout the history of boxing itself was what was reported to have been taking place during the referee’s count. An ethereal shaft of light began as the count began and ended when ten was reached. This light solely illuminated the still body of the fallen boxer and shocked many of those in attendance.

The only known photo taken of this light has been debated ever since. Almost immediately, stories began doing the rounds that this photo was somehow faked or is a pure hoax. However, no-one has yet managed to explain how it was done. Many of the audience in Tommy Burns Arena during the brief two minute boxing match say that the light was a genuine occurrence and not faked in any way. This photo is not the only unexplained event to occur in the barn. Legend states that the venue for the ill-fated fight was burned to the ground the following day.

What was this light and where could it have come from? How did it illuminate one fallen boxer while being counted out of the match?

Ten Seconds of Light

 Luther McCarty, one of the early 20th century "great white hope" fighters, collapsed in the first round of a fight from what appeared to be a very light punch. As the referee counted to ten, light shone in from above on a sunless day and directly onto McCarty's face.The light then went out right at the count of ten. McCarty died eight minutes later.

Coroner reports said that the death was from a hemorrhage, not from the fight. The fight and death isn't in any way eerie or supernatural, but the timing of the photo and the light shining down only for the ten seconds that were counted seems eerie to me.
