Corey McCoy was a 35-year-old Black man from Greenwood, Mississippi, whose death followed gunfire in the early hours of Sunday, October 27, 2019. He was shot at a house listed as 210 Ave. H and taken to Greenwood Leflore Hospital; police first learned of the incident when the hospital’s emergency room reported a wounded man. Investigators classified the case as a homicide and Police Chief Ray Moore identified the victim as Corey Rondrell McCoy.

Avenue H had seen other shootings and drive-by incidents before and after this killing, making the attack part of a broader pattern of gun violence on that residential street. Services were arranged at McKinney Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, visitation at Century Funeral Home, and burial at Marsh Prairie Cemetery in Minter City. Online memorials note he had eight children and describe him as warm, playful, and much missed.

If anyone knew Corey, his routines, or what happened that morning, please share information that might help the family and investigators.
