Memphis, TN – A $10,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the identification of suspects in the July 19 shooting death of Corey Adams, an Ole Miss freshman football player, as CrimeStoppers of Memphis and Shelby County steps up efforts to solve the case.
According to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office, Adams, 18, a promising defensive end from New Orleans, was allegedly killed and several others were injured after gunfire erupted at a pool party in Cordova. Detectives reported that more than 40 rifle and pistol shell casings were recovered at the scene, and authorities believe there may be multiple suspects involved.
CrimeStoppers officials said the $10,000 reward is made possible by a $6,000 anonymous donation, combined with the $4,000 that CrimeStoppers customarily offers for tips in homicide cases. According to David Wayne Brown, executive director of CrimeStoppers, “In virtually every case, at least one person knows enough information that could help investigators make an arrest.” Brown encouraged anyone with relevant information to contact CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH (2274), assuring tipsters that all information will remain anonymous.
The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office has asked for public assistance and is working with multiple law enforcement agencies in the region, including DeSoto County, Olive Branch, Southaven, Horn Lake, Hernando, Tunica County, Marshall County, and Oxford Police Departments, in the ongoing investigation.
Investigators urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident or who has knowledge about the suspects to come forward as the case remains active.
