In 2013, on the morning of March 19 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, police were dispatched to Latrice’s home that she shared with her boyfriend, Jahleel Hoskins. According to reports, a call came in that stated there was a domestic assault occurring at the residence, but when authorities arrived, they claimed they couldn’t find any evidence to support the claims that there had been a physical altercation. Latrice was reportedly planning to move out of the home she shared with Hoskins and called the police after she claimed that he grabbed her. That was the last time anyone saw the mother of five.
When Latrice’s family couldn’t get in contact with her, they immediately reported her as a missing person the following day. Almost immediately, Hoskins was a person of interest and on March 21, police visited him to ask about Latrice’s whereabouts.
He told them he didn’t know where she was. Forensics technicians combed through the home looking for any evidence of foul play. A little over a month later, there was movement in the case after Jahleel Hoskin’s cousin, Gregory Shanklin, was arrested and charged with perjury. Hoskins was taken into custody as well, at first for a parole violation, but later he was hit with a murder charge.
