Cops have taken nearly every member of the infamous Black Mafia Gang (BMF) off the streets.

But one member of the criminal organization is still on the run.

According to U.S. Marshals in Georgia the only remaining member of BMF, Vernon Marcus Coleman, played a pivotal role in drug trafficking for the gang.

BMF was well-known in the music entertainment industry, according to the DEA.

The group ran hip-hop label Life Records; investigators say BMF was known to throw lavish parties, and used their image in the promotion of their artists.

Police say BMF had a reputation as the drug supplier of choice for heavy hitters in the music industry.

The DEA and U.S. Marshals joined forces to bring down the BMF empire that cops say was reponsible for distributing hundreds of kilos of cocaine.

On More BMF Member Still On The Run

Police say, Vernon Marcus Coleman was heavily involved in a major drug dealing scheme throughout the U.S.

In July 2007, the Georgia district court issued a group indictment for everyone they believed was involved in the cocaine distribution scheme.

Federal authorities were successful in tracking down, arresting, and convicting members of BMF, including the Flenory brothers -- the group's alleged leaders.

Coleman is the only suspect to have avoided capture.

Police say Coleman, or 'Big Wu' as he is known, has fake IDs in Georgia, Nevada, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida.

Coleman still has ties to the music industry and police believe he may be doing promotions work for young rap artists.

Cops say Coleman enjoys high-end restaurants, night clubs, and strip clubs. He has a noticeable dimple on his chin.

Alleged Black Mafia Leader Woken By Cops

Accused drug-trafficker and Black Mafia Gang ringleader, Vernon Coleman, got a rude awakening Thursday morning.

On July 16, 2009, between 8:30 and 9 a.m. Coleman was asleep in the Atlanta, Ga apartment he was renting from one of his old bodyguards.

Members of the U.S. Marshal's Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force knocked on Coleman's door, but they didn't get an answer.

When they forced their way in, they found Coleman in bed, half-asleep and arrested him without incident.
