Episode 8 Hope Coleman X Terrence Coleman

  • Summary

  • Terrence Coleman, 31, was fatally shot by Boston Police Officer Garrett Boyle at his mother’s apartment in 2016. In episode eight of The Mothers Podcast we hear from his mother, Hope Coleman, who shares the horrific details of her son being killed after calling for help for him.

    Diagnosed with schizophrenic paranoia as a child, Terrence is one of several victims killed by police in the first season of The Mothers Podcast who was dealing with mental illness and was having a bad day. As stated in episode seven, one in four people killed by police have a mental illness and as we heard in episode five with Toni Biegert, Hope now lives with the regret of calling 911 for help. In March 2022, Hope’s legal team filed a motion to compel discovery against Boston and the officers involved.

    The Mothers Podcast is a 10-episode series that puts a spotlight on mothers from across the U.S. whose children have been killed by police violence. Becoming members of a club that NO ONE would wish to join, these mothers’ stories go beyond the headlines of each case, dissecting the pain, aftermath and the struggle for accountability for the killing of their child. This exploration unveils mothers supporting mothers to overcome grief and create change within their communities all across the country.
