Detroit police sergeant David Cobb hired hitman Vincent Smothers, and accomplice Marzell Black, to kill Rose Cobb, his wife. Smothers shot Rose Cobb as she waited in her car on the day after Christmas, while Sgt. Cobb shopped in a CVS drug store. Smothers was caught and confessed that Cobb had hired him to kill his wife. The cost? $1,500.00. And the story goes that Cobb was banging Marzell Black’s mother, Sheila Black.
Cobb was arrested, too, but released due to lack of evidence. Still, he was suspended during the investigation.
As investogators made progress against Cobb, he decided to hang himself in a Sterling Heights, MI park.
Apparently, his hanging has nothing to to with being accused of soliciting sex and texting dirty messages to a 15-year old girl in 2006. He was found not guilty.
