Melissa Moore, 31, a mother of two from Holland, Michigan, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of November 5, 2015, near Truxton Drive and Knapp Street NE in Grand Rapids. The shooting followed a heated, ongoing argument with her long-time boyfriend, Jermaine Arnet Cooper, reportedly over a cell phone and accusations of infidelity and jealousy. City street crew workers witnessed the shooting and called police.

Cooper became the primary suspect, and a warrant charged him with open murder. He was later found in Detroit after barricading himself inside a house; an hours-long standoff with the FBI and local police ended when tear gas and flash grenades were used to take him into custody. At trial he faced first-degree murder and felony firearm charges; prosecutors described the killing as premeditated and cited Melissa’s blood in Cooper’s vehicle and matching ammunition as evidence, while the defense argued the scene had been compromised.

Did anyone in Grand Rapids or Holland know Melissa or have information about the events leading up to that night?
