Correia’s body was found in the trunk of the car being driven by Coleman, according to Correia’s family.

According to witnesses in Boston and surveillance tapes — Coleman and Correia meet at the Boston club Venue and left together late Saturday night/Sunday morning.

“We conducted a search warrant of the apartment here, inside 95 Chestnut, but I cannot talk about the details about what was uncovered,” said Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements Jr. “We are treating it as a homicide investigation.”
