Corey Thomas Thornton Jr. (20), a beacon of light in our lives, was tragically taken from us on March 7th, 2022. His murder has left a void that can never be filled. The pain and suffering experienced by his loved ones are immeasurable and the quest for justice remains unfulfilled.

The loss of Corey is not just personal but also a reflection of the increasing violence in our society. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), there were an estimated 16,425 murders in the United States in 2019 - this number is too high and each statistic represents a life lost too soon, like Corey's.

We implore law enforcement agencies and judicial bodies to expedite their investigations into this case. A felon by the name of Daniel Stacy a lifelong criminal in yuba sutter admitted to taking Corey’s life. He gave true facts of the night before and the day of the murder. He admitted on numerous occasions to being the person solely responsible for Corey’s death. We demand transparency, accountability, and most importantly justice for Corey Thomas Thornton Jr. His memory deserves nothing less than this. By signing this you agree at least that Daniel Stacy should be charged with homicide and have a trial for the death of Corey Thomas Thornton Jr

We call upon you - community members, friends, family - to support us in our quest for justice by signing this petition. Together we can ensure that no other family has to endure what we have endured; together we can make sure that Corey's death was not in vain; together we can seek justice for Corey Thomas Thornton Jr.
