Jermaine Cooper, a 40-year-old Black man, was shot in Newburgh, New York, on the night of January 25, 2019. At about 10:20 p.m. the city’s Shot Spotter system recorded nine gunshots near Hasbrouck and Williams Streets. Officers found Cooper with a gunshot wound to his lower torso; he was taken to St. Luke’s Cornwall Hospital and died in the early hours of the next morning.

Witnesses and street cameras showed a white Toyota RAV4 leaving the scene toward Route 9W. A Town of Newburgh officer later tried to stop a speeding vehicle matching that description; a pursuit crossed the Mid-Hudson Bridge into Poughkeepsie and ended when the SUV crashed into a tree on Smith Street. Four people ran from the wreck and were arrested.

Authorities identified the four as Donnell Johnson, 24; Steven Williams, 29; Kyreem Seiman, 18; and Tysheed McPhee, 23. Johnson and Williams were charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon; Seiman and McPhee faced second-degree criminal possession of a weapon charges. Records in the following months show guilty pleas and sentences in the case. Does anyone have information about Cooper’s last known movements that night or saw the RAV4 before the shooting?
