45-year-old Latosha Ann Cooper was shot multiple times by a man who approached her in the parking lot of a Pennsylvania Walmart last Wednesday.

Officers with the Cheltenham Township Police Department were called to the scene at about 11:30 p.m. and found her with gunshot injuries. She was declared dead at the scene.

Friends and co-workers told detectives that the marriage was only so that Jean Louis could obtain legal status.

Surveillance video captured a man waiting near a bush at the entrance of the store in Cheltenham.

Cooper, a Walmart employee, had walked out of the store with a co-worker after their shift and was having a conversation before the masked man shot her and fled.

After an investigation, police arrested Cooper's ex-boyfriend Destino Jean Louis, who is also an illegal immigrant from Haiti.

The 23-year-old had worked at the Walmart with Cooper, and they began a romantic relationship, according to police. The two obtained a marriage license in March 2025, but friends and co-workers told detectives that the marriage was only so that Jean Louis could obtain legal status.

Cooper later cut ties with Jean Louis, which allegedly angered him. She revoked her application to let him remain in the country as her spouse in July 2026, according to official records.

Prosecutors say that cellphone records put the illegal alien near the Walmart on the night of the lethal shooting. He had also visited the store several times in the weeks before the shooting.

Jean Louis was arrested for immigration violations at a family member's residence in Philadelphia on Friday. Officials said they also found a sandwich bag containing .22 caliber ammunition.

He was then charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and other gun crimes. He is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

The U.S. Marshals Service in Philadelphia said Jean Louis had overstayed his visa.

Homeland Security sources told Fox News that the man had entered into the U.S. under a humanitarian program by the Biden administration in Nov. 2023 and that his status was revoked in June 2025.

Jean Louis told police he was at his family's residence during the shooting and had his cell phone with him. He also denied ever possessing a firearm.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

A Texas public school assistant principal and her husband are accused of pummeling a pair of men amid an argument at a 12-year-old girls' softball game over the weekend. One victim reportedly was knocked out flat on his back after being hit with a metal water bottle and suffered a fractured skull, three brain bleeds, and a broken jaw.

The incident occurred during a Saturday game involving two 12-year-old select softball teams at Imperial Park in Sugar Land — and the carnage was caught on video, KTRK-TV reported.

'It's medieval times, like we're going to smash each other in the head with something.'

Kiarious Marshun Hall and his wife Jazmine Hall were at their daughter's game when the dispute began, the station said, citing charging documents.

Investigators said the dispute began over Kiarious Marshun Hall's behavior during the opposing team's at-bats, KTRK said, adding that Hall told officers a man supporting the opposing team approached him and said he "couldn't cheer before the players pitched the ball."

Investigators reviewed witness video that allegedly showed Hall striking a father in the face with a metal water bottle, after which the father fell to the ground unconscious, the station said.

Hall then swung the bottle at a second man — a grandfather — before the confrontation became a physical fight, KTRK reported, citing court records, adding that Jazmine Hall allegedly was seen running into the altercation and pushing the second man.

Gary Greaser, the grandfather in the video, told KTRK he was attending the game to watch his granddaughter play and took issue with Hall's behavior: "We're saying, 'Hey, why are you getting loud?' It's bad sportsmanship to do it right as the pitch comes up when our girls are batting, and that's all it took. He just flipped and said, 'I can do whatever I want, I can say whatever I want. And you can't stop me.'"

Greaser added to the station that he intervened after seeing the first man struck: "I said, 'You can't do this.' I took him, I wanted to disarm the guy, because he's going to do it to somebody else."

Investigators told KTRK that Hall claimed the men had "elbowed and poked his chest" and that he acted in self-defense — but the station said court documents state the video officers reviewed did not show such actions.

Jazmine Hall and her husband are seen wearing pink shirts in the video, the station said, adding that the father who fell to the ground unconscious is seen wearing a dark blue shirt, and the grandfather who intervened is seen wearing a light blue shirt.

The father seen in the video getting knocked flat on his back was taken to St. Luke's Hospital, KTRK reported, adding that attorney Steve Shellist, who represents the injured man, said his client was hospitalized with a broken jaw, a fractured skull, and three brain bleeds.

As for Greaser, the station said he suffered a broken hip and needed seven stitches on his chin and was scraped extensively.

"It's medieval times," Greaser told KTRK in disbelief, "like we're going to smash each other in the head with something."

Sugar Land police arrested Kiarious Hall and Jazmine Hall following the incident, the station said, adding that both suspects were booked into the Fort Bend County Jail. However, neither appeared Wednesday in a list of inmates.

Jazmine Hall faces one count of assault causing bodily injury; Kiarious Hall faces two counts, KRIV-TV reported.

KTRK added that Jazmine Hall resigned from her position as assistant principal at Lamar Junior High School.

Lamar CISD shared the following statement, the station said:

Lamar CISD is aware of the incident involving a Lamar Junior High School employee. The employee voluntarily reported the incident to the district's human resources department over the weekend.

The incident occurred outside of school and was not associated with any Lamar CISD-sponsored event or activity.

The employee resigned from her position with Lamar CISD effective Monday, October 26, 2026.

KTRK said Hall declined to comment when reached by the station.

Greaser's attorney Shellist told KTRK he is in discussions with the Fort Bend County District Attorney's Office and wants prosecutors to consider upgrading the charges.

If Democrat Muslim Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has been repeatedly questioned over his family’s alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties — wins in Michigan next week, the state can expect a senator who will push Medicare-for-all government health care, fight to codify nationwide abortion access, work to abolish ICE, and raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy.

But according to Article III Project senior counsel Josh Hammer, that’s not the worst of it.

“This guy will literally be a five-alarm fire national security threat if he is elected to the United States Senate,” he tells the “Steve Deace Show” panel.

"He's already making moves and making waves about trying to sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — maybe the Select Committee on Intelligence, so help us God,” he says. “I mean, this is a guy who it's not an exaggeration to say that he is a Muslim Brotherhood asset.”

Hammer argues that although there’s no “overt collusive conspiracy,” the support El-Sayed has received from the Muslim Brotherhood’s “very sophisticated network,” which includes the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America, is substantial, coordinated, and deeply concerning for a U.S. Senate candidate.

“CAIR has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Abdul El-Sayed. His father-in-law, a very wealthy doctor in Michigan, was one of the founding members of ISNA,” he says, noting that both CAIR and ISNA "were named brotherhood front groups in the infamous Holy Land Foundation terror financing case of 2008.”

Hammer also notes that El-Sayed refused to celebrate or even comment positively on the U.S./Israel killing of Ali Khamenei in early 2026. Leaked audio showed El-Sayed telling his staff he didn’t want to touch the topic because “a lot of people in Dearborn” were sad about it.

“You know, Mr. Senate-elect hopeful, the United States and Iran are, last I checked, at war. In fact, they've been at war, technically speaking, for 47 years. Whose side are you on, dude? I mean, like literally, whose side of this conflict are you on?” Hammer asks.

He then brings up another concern: From 1999 to 2004, El-Sayed’s mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency.

“They were designated a terror organization by the Treasury Department in 2004 for funding Al-Qaeda and bin Laden,” says Hammer. “The mother was funding Al-Qaeda and bin Laden on September 11, 2001.”

“If [El-Sayed] goes to the Senate, God help us. He will not act on behalf of the United States. He will act on behalf of the Brotherhood; he will act on behalf of Islamism. And Al-Qaeda and ISIS will have a friend inside the U.S. Senate.”
