David M. Corey, 42, was killed on Sunday, May 5, 2019, during a shooting at Cully’s Bar in Ridgway, Pennsylvania. Described as an avid outdoorsman and a devoted father of two daughters, Corey was shot multiple times in the chest and abdomen; his death was ruled a homicide.

The shooter was identified as 35-year-old Brian Martin of Johnsonburg. Martin told authorities he acted in self-defense, saying Corey had attacked him, but officers reported Martin had no visible injuries to support that claim. Martin was arrested and charged with criminal homicide; the case went to trial in Elk County Court.

A jury convicted Martin of third-degree murder and recklessly endangering another person but acquitted him of criminal homicide. He received a 12 to 24 year sentence for the third-degree murder conviction, with a concurrent sentence for reckless endangerment.

If anyone knew David Corey or was at Cully’s Bar that night, does any detail from that evening stand out that could help clarify what happened?
