She has been charged with the murder of her boyfriend after she fatally shot him and then dismembered his body inside their home, according to the Baytown Police Department.
The woman identified as Cierra Alexis Sutton, 30, has been charged with the murder of her 32-year-old boyfriend Steven Coleman. The murder according to police took place on August 16, 2017 at the Briarwood Village Apartments in Baytown.
The couple were said to have gotten into an argument which led Cierra to shooting Steven in the head killing him instantly before dismembering his body with a machete.
Detectives said several friends reported Sutton confessed to the crime and told them, she dismembered the victim’s body because he was too heavy to carry. Friends also told detectives Sutton said her 10-year-old daughter was inside the apartment at the time.
“How did we not hear anything? Heard nothing at all,” said Mikki Rogers, a downstairs neighbor.
Two days after the crime, Sutton reported Coleman was missing at the Baytown Police station.
“She acted like she knew nothing about anything. She was trying to call him, hadn’t heard from him. Family members didn’t get a response,” said Rogers.
“There’s always been smiles, talk, no signs of anything that would indicate something like this,” said Donald Wooten, another neighbor.
Sutton was found on Thursday, September 14 at an apartment complex in Louisiana and was taken into custody. A court date has not been released at this time.
