Gore sentenced to five years in prison in Minocqua OWI homicide case
Just after 9 p.m. on Sunday, July 12, 2020, as the sun was setting on another summer weekend in the Northwoods, a gray Acura raced down State Highway 70 in Minocqua en route to Lac du Flambeau. This was the final ride of Cory L. Johnson Sr.’s life. Moments later, as twilight descended, the 47-year-old Stevens Point man would be thrown from the Acura, which was traveling at an estimated 103 to 110 miles per hour. According to court records, the vehicle briefly went airborne before striking an unoccupied vehicle in the parking lot of a Minocqua restaurant. A teenage busboy was the first to respond, unbuckling the driver, Christopher A. Gore, also of Stevens Point, and offering aid before police arrived.
