RE: Dexter Terrell Coleman – CDCR# E48016
Parole Hearing Date: April 12, 2023
Dear Chairman and Parole Board Member,
Please DO NOT grant a parole date to convicted murderer, Dexter Terrell Coleman. On September 20, 1988, Coleman brutally murdered Aron Hagan, while in the commission of robbing him of his vehicle. Coleman shot Aron three (3) times; once in the head, once in the neck and then once in the back. Coleman then left his lifeless body slumped in the front seat, bleeding to death.
On April 12, 2023, Aron Hagan’s family must, once again, relive the tremendously painful events that led to his brutal and senseless murder. Coleman’s violent and heinous actions not only took Aron’s life, but changed the lives of his family forever. Because of his complete disregard for human life, lack of conscience and remorse, justice demands this convicted murderer be denied parole. Coleman made a personal choice to execute an innocent human being for personal gain, and must continue to accept the consequences of his actions. Aron Hagan does not get a second chance to live; he is gone forever at the hands of Dexter Coleman. Therefore, Dexter Coleman does not deserve a second chance or the privilege of freedom. He must remain in prison, so that he can never again harm another innocent human being.
I am adamantly opposed to, and request that you please deny parole to convicted murderer, Dexter Terrell Coleman, for the maximum time allowed by State of California law.
Thank you for your consideration.
