Cory Taylor, 44, was fatally shot in Laurel, Mississippi on Mother’s Day, May 9, 2021.

Authorities have not named any suspects or announced arrests. Reporting from the Laurel Leader-Call says evidence tied to a related manslaughter case was misplaced, a development described as causing the case to be kicked and representing a setback in legal proceedings.

The absence of clear updates leaves many unanswered questions for Taylor’s family and the Laurel community. If anyone has information about Cory Taylor or the shooting on May 9, 2021, please come forward.
