Jemetta Cooper, 61, was shot and killed during a confrontation at her Cleveland apartment complex on the afternoon of April 12, 2023. The dispute occurred at the Shaker Hall complex in the 12700 block of Shaker Boulevard and was reported to have involved an argument over the possible eviction of a resident. Ms. Cooper was fatally wounded by gunfire during that altercation.

Cleveland police arrested three related women in connection with the killing: 66-year-old Dianna Hendon, her 48-year-old daughter Lamika Hendon, and her 25-year-old granddaughter Zabreah Hendon. Prosecutors charged Dianna with murder and Lamika and Zabreah with aggravated murder; all three pleaded not guilty and were held pending trial. The joint trial began January 8, 2024, and after jury deliberations the three defendants were found not guilty on January 22, 2024, and released.

With the acquittal of the only people charged, the murder of Jemetta Cooper remains unsolved. Does anyone have information about the shooting or who else might have been present that afternoon?
