Haitian national charged with murdering estranged wife outside Walmart after green card marriage goes awry

Destino Jean Louis, 23, has been charged with murdering his estranged wife, Latosha Ann Cooper, outside the Pennsylvania Walmart where she worked. Prosecutors allege he waited for her after her shift and shot her, making the case significant both as a suspected targeted killing and because investigators say their marriage was linked to an immigration application.

Cooper, 45, married Jean Louis in March, but withdrew her petition to sponsor his visa in July; immigration officials reportedly found the marriage was not legitimate. Court records say he had previously assaulted her, sought her work schedule from store staff and travelled repeatedly to the Walmart in the weeks before the shooting. He was arrested in Philadelphia on immigration violations and is held without bail, facing murder and firearm charges.
