Family in Port Richmond Seeks Justice for Son’s Killers


According to FOX 29, a Port Richmond family that witnessed their own son’s murder has yet to bring the 21-year-old man’s assailants to justice even after the Police released surveillance video of the suspects.

Ryan Kelly was shot to death on the 3500 block of Almond Street five weeks ago. The murder took place just one block from his family’s home. The Kelly’s are asking for help to find their son’s killers.

“We have to get these people off the streets before they do it to someone else again,” Cathy Kelly, Ryan’s Mother, told FOX 29.

Police have reason to believe that the suspects are also behind multiple armed robberies in the area. A stolen Mazda 6 that was possibly connected to Kelly’s killing was found shortly after the incident.

“I just wish he was here,” Cathy told FOX 29. “I miss him so much,”

Ryan was described as full of life and a huge Flyers fan. He was very social and could often be found playing sports at the neighborhood recreation center.

His family has had a rough holiday season and says that knowing Ryan’s killers are still out there makes every day more troubling.

“We’re hoping and praying they find ’em quick because they don’t have no value for life,” Ryan’s father, Bill, said.

Ryan Kelly’s family and friends are hosting a vigil at the Samuel Rec center on January 15th at 6:30PM. They are asking the community for help in bringing justice the killers who are still at there. Homicide cases reward $20,000 to anyone that offers information that leads to an arrest and conviction.
