Corey Marsielle Lewis Jr. was 16 and a student at Petersburg High School when he was fatally wounded by gunfire on August 7, 2011, in Petersburg, Virginia. The shooting occurred in the early hours of that Sunday; a 28-year-old man was also shot and survived. Corey was remembered by those who knew him as smart, outgoing, caring, and laid-back with a good heart.

Law enforcement opened an investigation after the shooting, but there have been no public announcements of arrests or identified suspects. The killing remains an unsolved homicide and a cold case for the Petersburg community and Corey’s family.

If anyone has information about Corey’s death or the events of the night of August 7, 2011, please come forward to help bring answers.
