Corey Clark, a 23-year-old Black man from Penn Hills, was shot and killed on September 21, 2014, inside Cliff’s Bar and Grill in Pittsburgh’s Homewood neighborhood. He was sitting in a booth near North Lang Avenue and Upland Street on a Sunday night while patrons watched a Steelers game; witnesses said a masked gunman entered the crowded bar about 10:00 to 10:20 p.m. and opened fire with what police described as a high-powered weapon. At least 15 shots were fired and investigators said the attack appeared targeted at Corey. No one else inside the bar was reported injured, but several patrons left before police could speak with them and the scene turned chaotic.

Corey had been released only days earlier after charges in an unrelated Homewood bar shooting that killed Vincent Holt Jr. were dropped when his attorney argued surveillance video showed the shooter did not match Corey. Years later Corey’s mother, Gena Cottrell, publicly blamed former homicide detective Margaret Peg Sherwood, who was later implicated in alleged misconduct related to multiple investigations; those proceedings were separate from Corey’s homicide. Reports show no one publicly charged in Corey Clark’s killing.

If anyone knew Corey, was at Cliff’s Bar and Grill that night, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
