On November 23, 2025, deputies of the Anoka County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a residence on Yucca St NW in the city of Andover, Anoka County, Minnesota, for a report of a domestic dispute. The caller, 14-year-old Child A, told dispatch that her father, Tarance M Coleman, [DOB REDACTED], Defendant herein, was trying to hurt her mother, R. K. N. Child A further stated that she could hear a lot of banging and that her mother had yelled to her to call 911. When deputies arrived at the residence, Defendant had already left.

Deputies made contact with R. K. N., who had blood on her face. R. K. N. Indicated that the blood was not hers but Defendant’s. R. K. N. Further told deputies that she had been in a fight with Defendant after telling him that she was leaving to go to the mall. Defendant pushed her down to the bed and used his hands to choke her, causing her to lose consciousness. While struggling with Defendant, R. K. N. Attempted to use her smartwatch to call 911, however Defendant dismissed the call. Defendant had also taken R. K. N.’s phone, preventing her from calling 911. R. K. N.
