CRIME SEPTEMBER 3, 2016
56-year old Monique Cooke-Reid of Ontario in Canada has been charged in the death of Jamari Reid, local dancer turned deejay. She has been charged with soliciting to commit murder.
Monique Cooke-Reid is a retired psychologist.
The town of Falmouth is still in shock at the death of Monique’s 25-year old husband, who was killed on Wednesday night, August 24. He and two other occupants of the house were tied up, but Jamari was the only one killed: shot in the head and chest.
