“Preliminarily, it appears the suspect’s vehicle pulled up next to Kelly’s SUV and someone inside opened fire,” the Prince George’s County Police Department said.
“This is an absolutely heartbreaking loss for Mr. Kelly’s family and friends,” said Acting Major David Blazer of the police department’s major crimes division. “He is not home with his loved ones today on Christmas who are now mourning his loss instead of celebrating the holiday.”
Police are offering up to $25,000 “for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.”
