Saturday, June 1, 2024 11:07PMA man will spend 50 years behind bars after pleading guilty on Wednesday to killing his wife nearly four years ago, according to Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg.
"No child should lose their mother to domestic violence, and that is why we take any case of violence against women so seriously," Ogg said. "We know that violence escalates, like in this case, where the defendant committed at least two other assaults before killing an intimate partner." Cooper asked his wife to come to the house on the evening of the murder while he and the couple's child were at the Spring home. He chased her around the house with a gun after they got into an argument. He shot her multiple times when she ran outdoors, once taking a bullet to the head.
On the eve of his January trial, Cooper was later taken into custody and entered a guilty plea to murder.
