Corenz Marquis ’Corey’ White was 28 when he was found collapsed at the University Trails apartments on Red Mile Road in Lexington, Kentucky, in the early hours of January 3, 2016, with a fatal gunshot wound to the chest. He did not live at that complex; the shooting followed a party on the late hours of January 2. A security guard’s body camera reportedly captured Roark dragging White’s body through the apartment complex shortly after the shooting.

Roark was arrested about 13 hours after White’s body was discovered and was charged with murder and tampering with physical evidence. At arraignment a not guilty plea was entered on his behalf. The case went to a three-day trial that resulted in a conviction for second-degree manslaughter, with the jury recommending the maximum 10-year sentence. White’s mother, Michelle Schooler, spoke publicly about her grief and criticized young men handling guns, saying there are no winners when a life is lost and another family faces incarceration.

If anyone witnessed the confrontation at the party or has information about the events at the University Trails complex that night, please come forward.
