Leifshorn Hooks, a 54-year-old African American woman, was found unresponsive in the bathroom of her Westchester, Illinois, home on Mannheim Road on Mother’s Day, May 12, 2019. She had multiple gunshot wounds; the Cook County medical examiner ruled her death a homicide.

Officers were called about 8:40 p.m. after a witness — who had been asked by Leifshorn’s husband to check on her following an argument — discovered her and called 911. Her husband, 55-year-old Reginald Hooks, was arrested at his workplace and charged with first-degree murder. The Westchester Police and the West Suburban Major Crimes Unit handled the investigation, and at a bond hearing in Maywood, Judge Stanley L. Hill ordered Reginald Hooks held without bail; court proceedings were scheduled to continue on May 28, 2019.
