On July 5, 2024, 49-year-old Yolanda Cook was shot and killed inside her home on Harper Avenue in Clinton Township, Michigan. Her 31-year-old son, Arkollin Dleon Cook, was critically wounded in the same incident and was taken to a nearby hospital on life support; he died of his injuries on July 13, 2024.

Shortly after the shooting, Yolanda’s 24-year-old son, Corey Deyshaun Cook, went to the Clinton Township Police Department and reported the incident. Officers performed a welfare check at the family’s residence and found Yolanda dead and Arkollin gravely injured. Corey Cook was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder in Yolanda’s death, assault with intent to murder his brother, and two counts of felony firearm. After Arkollin’s death, the charges were amended to include a second count of first-degree premeditated murder.

At arraignment in 41B District Court Corey Cook’s bond was set at $1 million and a probable cause hearing was scheduled for late July 2024. Does anyone have information about the family or the neighborhood that could help explain what happened that day?
