Cory Fisher was 18 when he was shot and killed on August 21, 2015, in the 3800-block of West Lexington Street on Chicago’s West Side. The shooting followed an argument involving Fisher, his stepbrother, and 20-year-old Mark Clay. Clay allegedly pulled a gun and shot Fisher in the head; Fisher’s stepbrother was wounded in the shoulder and survived. Fisher was due to start college just days after the killing.

Mark Clay was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon; charging documents also included first-degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm. The case drew attention because of the senseless nature of the attack and the loss of a young person on the verge of beginning college.

Anyone who knew Cory, his stepbrother, or who has information about the confrontation that led to this shooting is asked to come forward.
