“Still surprised by the speeding car, we suddenly heard three gun shots, and then again another five shots going off. Everybody ran toward the corner to see what was happening. I just saw a man lying face down near a gate, and a man walking slowly to the silver car with a gun in his hand. The car slowly drove away, ” said the witness. The man died instantly
According to a family member the shooting was a result of a gang-related issue between two gangs of Reiger Park, the Terribles and the Sour Boys. It is further alleged by the family member that the gangsters have been after Kelvin since 2010.
