Sorry Gemmie - but I do have to correct you - the little boy's name is Cairo. Plus DA is not charged with murder - just aiding, inducing & causing death.

Woman charged in death of Atlanta boy found in suitcase seeks change of trial venue

The child's body was a found in a heavily wooded area off of a dead-end road.

www.wsbtv.com

A hearing is set for June 1 on the change of venue request for Coleman, who was arrested in San Francisco in October in connection with the death of 5-year-old Cairo Ammar Jordan of Atlanta, Georgia. She’s charged with aiding, inducing or causing murder, neglect of a dependent resulting in death and obstruction of justice.

A felony murder arrest warrant was issued in November for Cairo’s mother, DeJaune Ludie Anderson of Atlanta. She remains at large.

Authorities allege that Coleman helped Anderson dispose of Cairo’s body in April 2022. Court documents say that he died in Kentucky and his body was dumped in Indiana.

His body was found inside a hard suitcase emblazoned with a distinctive Las Vegas design that a mushroom hunter discovered in a heavily wooded area off of a dead-end road.
