Cordova, Tennessee – Federal and local investigators are seeking public tips after the fatal shooting of Corey Adams in Cordova last month.
According to the FBI Memphis Resident Agency and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Adams was killed on the evening of July 19 in the Cordova area of Shelby County. Authorities have released images connected to the case and are asking anyone with information to come forward.
Investigators identified the victim as Corey Adams, a Memphis-area resident and a football player with the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). Officials said Adams was a rising athlete with ties across the Mid-South, prompting a multi-agency response.
Law enforcement officials released surveillance-style images of a black Nissan sedan believed to be connected to the case. The vehicle is described as a four-door black Nissan, and investigators say it may be critical to identifying those allegedly responsible.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual or individuals allegedly involved in Adams’ death.
Anyone with information is urged to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324), reach out to their nearest FBI office, contact a local U.S. Embassy or Consulate, or submit tips anonymously online at tips.fbi.gov. Officials emphasized that tips can be provided anonymously.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities have not released details about potential suspects or arrests.
The case has drawn attention from students, young athletes, and commuters in the Memphis and Cordova areas, where investigators continue to seek assistance from the public.
