Hi, I am Corey’s sister. ( sister in law) we’re thankful for the video footage because it was key in this, but we haven’t seen it. We chose not to there. Were people videoing immediately after he was shot and that was put on a public page.. wow strangers and his friend and paramedics tried to revive him at the scene. It’s been terribly hard been hard on his four daughters. It’s been hard on his siblings. It’s been extremely hard on my children. We were very close with them. The mental impact on everybody even though it’s been extremely hard. Corey was my son‘s godfather and he is almost 21 now in the year after he was shot my son who left his room. My brother wasn’t perfect, but yahoo was tried to be the hero and he loved kids and he would do anything to protect him. His girls miss him every single day. He loved Superman. He was definitely a hero to all of us.
SF, So sorry your family has had to go through this. I'm so glad at least they caught this guy and he received at least a lengthy sentence. Even though it shoulda been life. My sister's killer received just 8 years and he was out in 6. It's destroyed out lives.
Corey Michael Fisher, 31, was shot and killed on April 18, 2021, at the Rosedale Inn in Bakersfield, California. The shooting followed a confrontation that began after a white truck was reported driving recklessly in the area and nearly struck someone. That incident prompted an exchange involving Gary Jennings, who was mistakenly believed to be the truck’s driver.
Jennings then fired a single shot that struck Fisher in the chest, killing him. Jennings fled to Tulare and was arrested on April 22, 2021. During the ensuing legal proceedings Jennings claimed self-defense, saying Fisher continued to advance despite warnings, while prosecutors contended Fisher did not pose a threat.
Surveillance footage and ballistic evidence were reported to link Jennings to the shooting. The case raises questions about how a brief confrontation escalated to deadly violence and about firearm possession by someone with a criminal history. If anyone knew Corey Fisher, saw events at the Rosedale Inn that night, or has information that could help, please come forward.
