On the morning of January 24, 2023, 35-year-old Jersey City teacher Temara King was shot multiple times inside her third-floor apartment at the Toy Factory building on Bergen Avenue. The shooting occurred around 7:10 a.m.; she was taken to Jersey City Medical Center and pronounced dead just over an hour later. King's teenage daughter placed the 911 call and identified her father as the shooter.

Authorities identified the suspect as 39-year-old husband Lucas Cooper, who left the scene and was arrested later that same day in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was charged with murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and endangering the welfare of a child; records show a prior guilty plea for violating a domestic violence order. King had taught special education for the Jersey City Public School district for about ten years and was recognized in 2018 as Inclusion Teacher of the Year for her work with students on the autism spectrum. A GoFundMe was set up to help her daughter’s college future.

Does anyone have information about Temara’s life or the family that could help clarify what happened that morning?
