Kelly Coppola
August 28, 2024 - St. James, Long Island, New York
Age 50
Kelly Coppola and her boyfriend Kenneth Pohlman were shot in their sleep by her ex-husband Daniel Coppola in Pohlman’s home after he violently forced his way in. Kelly and her ex-husband had only finalized their divorce a year before when he shot her with a bullet that was carved with her name on it, while their teenaged daughter was waiting in the car outside, unaware of what was happening.
Police say that there was not a protection order filed against Coppola, but they had been called to their home during their marriage over a dispute.
Family tells police that Coppola was an abusive maniac towards Kelly.
Kelly leaves behind a loving family and a teenage daughter.
