Man Shot In SUV With Family On Board Christmas Eve: Prince George's Police

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A 30-year-old Clinton man and professional boxer driving his family to a Christmas Eve dinner was shot and killed with his girlfriend and three children in the vehicle. Detectives with the Prince George's County police department's homicide unit asks that anyone with information about the shooting that occurred in the 4400 block of St. Barnabas Road in Temple Hills contact them.

A reward of up to $25,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest and indictment in this case.

Police say that Danny Kelly Jr. was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat of his SUV suffering from gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead a short time later at a hospital. It appears the suspect’s vehicle pulled up next to Kelly’s SUV and someone inside opened fire. No one else in Kelly’s SUV was injured. At this time, detectives are looking into whether this was possible road rage. Detectives are working on identifying the suspect and the suspect vehicle.

“This is an absolutely heartbreaking loss for Mr. Kelly’s family and friends. He was not home with his loved ones on Christmas who are now mourning his loss. St. Barnabas Road is a heavily travelled roadway. If any other drivers saw anything there on Christmas Eve or may have information that could help, please call us. You can stay anonymous. We are committed to providing answers to his family,” Prince George's Acting Major David Blazer of the Major Crimes Division said.
