Cory Detrail Beasley was a 19-year-old Black man from St. Louis, Missouri, whose death is recorded in Social Security/Death Master File–style listings as occurring on either September 1 or September 2, 2008. The records tie the name Cory D./Cory Detrail Beasley to a Missouri Social Security number, but they conflict on the exact date and give no further incident details.

What survives publicly is a sparse administrative footprint and inclusion in that database rather than a narrative of the case.

If anyone knew Cory, was in St. Louis in early September 2008, or has information about what happened, please share what is known.
