Public's Assistance Sought: 2010 Unsolved Malden Murder

WOBURN—Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan, Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis, and other authorities are requesting assistance from the public regarding the murder of a young man in Malden on September 5, 2010.

It has been five years to the day since the shooting death of Cory Disciscio, 21, of Stoneham, at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Wyeth Street in Malden. Since the incident occurred, Malden Police and Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office have devoted many resources and hours to investigate the circumstances of Disciscio’s death. Authorities have made some progress, but no one has been charged in connection with the crime.

“This weekend is especially difficult for members of Cory Disciscio’s family,” said District Attorney Ryan. “On September 5, exactly five years ago, Cory Disciscio was murdered. This type of anniversary is one that no parent, no friend, and no family member should have to experience. We ask the public’s assistance in making sure that another year does not pass without justice for the victim. We know from our investigation that witnesses were present, and we strongly encourage them to come forward with any information that will help us solve this murder.”

Police Chief Molis added, "Cory Disciscio was a young man whose life was just beginning. This is a crime that remains a priority of the Malden Police Department. Alongside Detectives from the Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office, we ask that any member of the public that has information concerning this crime come forward. We are committed to bringing those responsible to justice, and we hope that Cory’s family may find peace in this difficult time."

The Massachusetts State Police and Malden Police Department are actively investigating the case and pursuing leads.

Members of the public with information they believe may be helpful to the investigation may contact Massachusetts State Police at (781) 897-6600 or Malden Police at (781) 397-7171.

The prosecutor assigned to this case is Assistant District Attorney Steve Loughlin. The Victim Witness Advocate is Helena Clarke.
