Cody Manood Bouphavong was 21 when he was fatally shot and found in the parking lot of McCroskey’s Irish Pub and Grill in Hickory, North Carolina, on April 7, 2017. Born February 28, 1996, he graduated from Bunker Hill High School in 2014, attended CVCC, and worked for Timberland Landscaping. Family remembered his contagious smile and his love of spending time with friends and relatives.

Witnesses said Cody and friends were inside a Honda Accord when two men in a Ford Fusion drove into the lot and opened fire. Three 21-year-olds — Cody Bouphavong, Quajuae Alexus Kennedy, and Justin Michael Aiken — were killed; a fourth, 20-year-old Cole Brady Ervin, was wounded. The two suspects were located with weapons in their vehicle and admitted to firing into the Accord; they were later charged in the case.

If anyone knew Cody or has information about the shooting that hasn’t been shared publicly, please come forward.
