A 28-year-old man is dead following a shooting late Sunday night in a quiet residential neighborhood, sending shockwaves through the local community and prompting an ongoing police investigation.
The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. in the 9300 block of Amesbury Avenue. According to authorities, officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, they discovered a man, later identified as Cory Rico Tyree Bradley, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.
Emergency responders attempted to assist, but Bradley was pronounced dead at the scene. Police have not released additional details regarding the circumstances surrounding the shooting, and the motive remains unclear at this time.
Neighbors reported hearing several loud pops and seeing flashing lights as law enforcement and emergency personnel arrived. “It was terrifying,” said one resident who asked not to be identified. “This is usually a peaceful neighborhood. I can’t believe something like this happened here.”
Police cordoned off the area for several hours overnight as they conducted their investigation, canvassed the scene for evidence, and interviewed potential witnesses. Detectives are working to determine what led to the shooting and whether Bradley was targeted or the victim of a random act of violence.
