Sterling Heights (AP) -- A Detroit police sergeant whose wife was shot to death in a suspected contract killing has been found hanged.
Police tell the Detroit Free Press that 38-year-old Sgt. David Cobb was found dead Friday night in a Sterling Heights park.
Cobb's 47-year-old wife Rose was fatally shot Dec. 26 as she sat in the parking lot of a drug store on Detroit's east side. Police in April arrested 27-year-old Vincent Smothers, who told police Cobb hired him to kill his wife.
Smothers, who awaits trial in the murder, claimed Cobb was having an affair and wanted his wife's life insurance money.
Cobb was arrested a day after Smothers, but was released after prosecutors said there wasn't enough evidence to charge him. |
