Murder suicide victim’s family says Luv Land and Ed Coleman ‘happy’ and ‘talking marriage’
The Sacramento police have identified the deaths of Edward Coleman and Luv Land as a murder suicide and now the family of Land spoke out.
Coleman and Land were expected in Bakersfield on Saturday for her cousin’s wedding, but obviously didn’t show up.
“They were talking about marriage,” said Mae Beary, Land’s aunt. They were talking about sharing their life together. “They were a happy-go-lucky couple.”
Their deaths reportedly followed an argument on Friday evening.
“When they were a ‘no show,’ I mean, I was very worried because my mom and I had feelings. You know how you can tell something has happened? I told my mom, I just don’t feel good, and she said I don’t either so I said well what’s going on?” said Beary.
The couple was found dead inside their north Sacramento home Sunday morning.
“The guy seems like he may have had problems. I don’t know what his problems were, but taking a life is not the way to solve a problem. He should have got help,” she continued.
Word of the couple’s death spread quickly to Grant Union High School in north Sacramento, where Coleman worked as assistant football coach.
“He’s a fun guy. He was always laughing, never a down type of guy. He was always positive, never negative,” said Ezell Grant, a student athlete.
“When you’re always feeling bad that you messed up or something, he would always come around and you know lift you up,” said another student.
But, now Land’s family in Bakersfield is left wondering what went tragically wrong. “She’s going to be missed very deeply. She’s going to be missed by the whole family,” said Beary.
Land’s aunt told 17 News she didn’t know of any problems between the couple who had been dating for three years.
