US EditionBritish man shot dead with two friends in Mexico was in the 'wrong place at the wrong time', inquest told
- Ben Marshall Corser, a 36-year-old man from St Just in Cornwall, was shot dead on 24 May 2022 outside a supermarket in Colima, Mexico.
- He was sitting in the back seat of a car with two friends, Claudio and Alfredo, when all three were shot in what is believed to be random violence amid a recent rise in crime.
- The inquest held in Truro heard that police gathered evidence at the scene, recovered a projectile from Ben’s body, and confirmed he died of a fatal chest wound.
- Assistant coroner Emma Hillson concluded that Ben Corser was unlawfully killed and noted it was "incredibly difficult" that no further information is expected due to the passage of time.
- The family paid tribute describing Ben as having a "breadth that is rare today" and stated any official conclusion on motive or perpetrator is of little consequence to them.
