As childhood friends Monterio Williams, 17, and Robert Boston, 16, left a downtown high school at dismissal time in late January 2024, three masked gunmen pulled up in a stolen SUV and shot and killed the boys in broad daylight, prosecutors said in court Saturday.

One of the alleged gunmen, Tommie Coleman, was ordered detained Saturday during a hearing at the Leighton Criminal Court Building. The 22-year-old Pullman man, who faces first-degree murder and attempted-murder charges, was identified by witnesses and through Instagram posts, according to prosecutors.

“It doesn’t get much more violent than that,” Judge William Fahy said when ordering Coleman detained.
