Corey Jermaine CoCo Bailey, 41, was shot and killed on Mill Park Drive in the Coverdale Crossroads community during the early evening of May 11, 2018. He and a friend, Channell Gray, were standing near her car when a dark Jeep arrived and two masked, gloved men got out. The man who came from the front passenger side fired several times; Bailey was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital.

Gray identified the gunman in a photographic lineup and later at trial as McArthur M. Risper Jr., who surrendered to police three days after the shooting and was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree conspiracy and related weapons offenses. Prosecutors said the killing was revenge after Bailey and his girlfriend had stolen an AR-15-style rifle and marijuana from a trailer several weeks earlier; the state argued the stolen property belonged to Risper. A jury convicted Risper in December 2019 and he was sentenced in January 2020, but the Delaware Supreme Court ordered a new trial in April 2021 because of late disclosure of a recorded interview suggesting someone else had confessed.

Authorities have continued to describe a second shooter as unidentified and under investigation. Does anyone have information about Bailey, the shooting that night, or the unidentified second shooter?
