Jamila Marie Carter, 22, was fatally shot on May 29, 2017, while driving on Cedar Road at East 28th Street in Cleveland’s Central neighborhood. She was shot in the head; her friend Shonna Adams, 21, who was in the same Dodge Avenger, was shot in the back. An SUV fired into their car on Memorial Day evening.

Detectives linked Ellis Cobb III, 19, to the attack and took him into custody about nine hours after the shooting; he was charged with felonious assault. Investigators say Cobb III was accused of shooting another woman earlier because he feared she had cooperated with police about a separate 2017 double murder. The case record also names Ellis Cobb Jr., and mentions that Ellis Cobb III and Montez Cobb had been considered suspects in homicides since at least 2017; Montez Cobb was serving a 30-year sentence for unrelated crimes at the time.

Anyone with information about the Memorial Day shooting or the events leading up to it is asked to come forward.
