Cleveland man arrested for April murder in Mt. Pleasant neighborhood
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A Cleveland man has been arrested and charged for a deadly shooting in the city’s Mt. Pleasant neighborhood.
Charlie Cooper, 25, pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder at his arraignment Thursday morning.
He is currently being held in the Cuyahoga County Jail on $500,000 bond.
On the morning of April 17, officers responded to a shooting at the intersection of East 123rd St. and Imperial Ave.
They arrived to find 38-year-old Shannon Collins on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds.
According to investigators, Collins, who lived in Euclid, had been shot in his head, neck, and upper extremities.
Police records show he was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:21 a.m.
In addition to Cooper, a woman has also been charged in connection with Collins’ killing.
Nicole Meadows, 27, of Cleveland, was arrested on April 17 and charged with obstructing justice.
She was released from jail on a personal bond and her case has been bound over to a grand jury.
Cooper is currently on community control stemming from 2023 arrest in Westlake, according to court records.
On January 18, he pleaded guilty to drug possession, a fourth-degree felony, but Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Brian Mooney stayed the proceedings and did not find Cooper guilty.
Cooper was instead placed in the probation department’s “Intervention in Lieu of Conviction” program, which is “designed to meet the unique needs of low-level, nonviolent probationers with minimal prior criminal histories,” according to the court’s website.
He is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on May 13.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Gov. Mike DeWine joined with state, local and federal authorities on Monday, Nov. 3, to reiterate their partnership to reduce violent crime in Cleveland.
Gov. DeWine and Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb introduced the Violence Reduction Initiative for Cleveland in 2023 to combat the increase in crime in the city.
“This partnership is a key example of what collaboration is all about,” said Mayor Bibb. “I’ve often said public safety is a group project. The men and women of our police department can’t do it alone. Federal law enforcement has played a critical role, state law enforcement has played a great role, as well as the county and the prosecutor.”
The partnership includes:
- Cleveland Division of Police (CPD)
- Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office
- Ohio State Highway Patrol
- Ohio Investigative Unit
- Ohio Narcotics Intelligence Center
- Ohio Adult Parole Authority
- Federal Bureau of Investigation
- U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
- U.S. Marshals Service
- Homeland Security Investigations
- U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration
- U.S. Department of Justice
Since July 2023, Cleveland has led to more than 1,400 felony arrests for serious crimes such as homicide and felonious assault and seized more than 1,000 illegally possessed firearms.
Recent data from the Ohio Department of Public Safety (DPS) showed a small group of people commit most violent crimes in the state.
Less than 1% of Ohio adults were arrested each year for violent crimes or weapons charges between 1974 and 2023, most of those arrested being repeat offenders.
Approximately one-third of people arrested for violent crimes had been arrested five or more times before.
State officials have supported crime reduction programs in Cleveland, Toledo, Lima, Mansfield, Akron, Canton, Youngstown, Dayton, Springfield, Columbus and Zanesville.
