Kabreya Coleman

Kabreya Coleman was a 24-year-old woman of Baltimore whose life included the responsibilities and quiet work of raising a child while still finding her footing as a young adult. Public records and reporting describe her as a hardworking mother balancing youth with parenthood; beyond that portrait, the public record is limited, but what is clear is that she was a real person with a family, a child, and a place in her neighborhood.

Kabreya lived on the 200 block of North Hilton Street in southwest Baltimore. Those simple facts point to everyday routines—home, family, neighbors, and the small acts of care that make up ordinary life. The available sources note that she was taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center after being wounded on January 11, 2018, and that she died at age 24. While news accounts center on the circumstances of her death, remembering Kabreya means centering the human being behind those headlines: a mother working to provide for and raise her child, trying to balance responsibilities and hopes for the future.

Publicly available information about Kabreya’s life beyond the circumstances of her death is sparse. That scarcity should not reduce her personhood; it underscores how many lives are known only in fragments when tragedy strikes. Even with limited details, we can say this: Kabreya mattered to someone—family, friends, and a child who survives her—and those relationships are the truest measure of a life. Her death left a gap in her family and community that is not captured by statistics.

For those who wish to honor Kabreya’s memory, small acts—sharing a favorite story, supporting her child and family, or offering kindness to parents in the neighborhood—are meaningful ways to respond. This remembrance holds to the simple truth that Kabreya Coleman was more than the circumstances of her passing; she was a young mother whose life had value, and she deserves to be remembered with dignity and compassion.
