Corey Harris, a 30-year-old African American man, was shot and killed on July 24, 2021, in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven on Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando. Harris had been at the store to invite people to a candlelight vigil for a friend who had been murdered earlier that week. Witnesses said he approached several people, including the suspect, to extend the invitation and that there was no argument or altercation before the shooting.

Police allege 26-year-old Reginald Hall fired multiple shots at Harris while sitting in his car, then got out and fired additional rounds that caused Harris to fall. Harris ran to a witness’s vehicle and asked to be taken to the hospital but died shortly after arriving at the medical facility. Hall was arrested at the scene, charged with first-degree murder, and held without bond. Evidence collected at the scene reportedly included shell casings and the firearm used.

The motive remains unclear and investigators reported Hall and Harris did not have a known prior relationship. If anyone knew Corey, saw the shooting, or has information about what led to this unprovoked attack, please come forward.
