- The June 3, 2006, murder of Leroy Jernigan, who was shot to death inside the Circus Restaurant on Wake Forest Road.

- The October 14, 2007 murder of Tariq Hussain, who was shot to death inside Bobby's Grocery on Garner Road.
Garner Police captured Cooper after he allegedly robbed a bank there. A gun found during the robbery arrest was later determined to be the gun used in all the murders.
Prosecutors say the motive in all the killings was robbery.
