Police release chilling footage of violence at Birmingham nightclub after Cody Fisher was murdered

Two men have been found guilty of the murder of 23 year-old semi-professional footballer Cody Fisher at a nightclub in Digbeth, Birmingham.

Cody was out with his girlfriend and friends on Boxing Night in 2022 when he was fatally stabbed by Remy Gordon and Kami Carpenter. A third man called Reegan Anderson was cleared of murder, but found guilty of affray. All three will be sentenced at a later date.

West Midlands Police has released chilling footage showing the arrests of the three men convicts which also shows violence breaking out on the dance floor amid the fatal stabbing. It also shows the three men being arrested.

Det Insp Michelle Thurgood, who led the investigation at West Midlands Police, said: “The absolute tragedy of this case is just how trivial the motive was. It’s the kind of thing that most right-minded people would have just ignored and moved on, but Remy Gordon, for reasons only he can explain, took real exception to this.

“It was a chance brushing together of two men who did not know each other and had no reason to fall out. Cody’s life has been cut tragically short, and it’s had a catastrophic impact on his family and friends.”

‘Best friend and angel’

Speaking after the verdict was reached today (Monday, March 25) Cody’s mother Tracey described her son as her ‘youngest boy, best friend and her angel’, and said she and her family started ‘our life sentences’ on Boxing Day 2022 – the saddest, most heart-breaking day of our lives.”

She said: “Cody’s father, brother and the rest of his living family who miss him dearly are suffering. Cody truly never had a bad bone in his body. He loved teaching young children. He loved, cared for and respected his family. He had more living to do and so much more love and kindness to give to the world.

“Cody taught us all so much about ourselves and we miss him every single minute of every day. I will not get to see him go on to do more amazing things, like inspire many more children and adults as he used to do, have holidays with him and go to his footie matches every week to see him kick a ball like he’d done from the day he could walk.

“Sadly, I will never see my son live on through his children and as such never enjoy any grandchildren from him.  Cody Fisher was brave, fearless and the most genuine soul I knew, I had the pleasure and honour to call him my son, may you rest in peace my beautiful boy.”
