It's April 16. You're listening to Kansas News today, AI-powered local news. A 21-year-old Kansas City woman named Jolie Cooper is facing life in prison after allegedly setting up her ex-boyfriend and shooting him in the chest. This went down the evening of April 13, near a McDonald's on North Indiana Avenue and Northeast Berry Road. Prosecutors say she and her mother pulled off the trap to get him there. They started by calling the victim's girlfriend, pretending her car was getting told from their apartment. When the couple had danced all nearby, the mother jumped out and smashed the back windshield with a wooden bat. The ex pulled up in his Cadillac, approached with a knife at his side, and that's when Cooper fired at least one shot. The victim dropped, but got back up, drove off, and his dad rushed him to a fire station. He ended up in intensive care at North Kansas City Hospital. Folks has shaken by how close this came to ending his life, especially since Court Doc's show this was the second time Cooper allegedly pulled a gun on, the same guy.

Surveillance from the McDonald's in a nearby coffee shop caught the whole thing on video, making the case airtight for prosecutors. She's hit with first degree assault, which carries 10 to 30 years or life, plus unlawful use of a weapon and two counts of armed criminal action. Cooper's locked up on a $150,000 bond, with a bond hearing set for April 21 and a preliminary one on May 29. This drama is far from over, but the evidence has her cornered tight.
