INDIANAPOLIS -- The U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force has apprehended two suspects, one of whom is a juvenile, wanted in connection with the murder of 64-year-old Dallis Coleman last week.

IMPD said 18-year-old D’Andrae Robinson and a 17-year-old juvenile male have been located and arrested by the U.S. Marshal’s Service. Robinson was arrested on Wednesday, and the juvenile male was arrested today.

Robinson and the juvenile both face preliminary charges of murder, armed robbery and burglary in connection with Coleman’s murder.

Coleman’s son found his father shot in a vehicle around 1 a.m. on Oct. 17 in the 5200 block of Daniel Drive.

His family said Coleman lived alone, and that they never expected something like this.

Shortly after his body was discovered, police said they were looking for a stolen dark blue/charcoal 2014 Kia Soul with the plate ABM259.

Police said the decision about whether to pursue adult charges against the juvenile suspect would be left up to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
