Pro boxer Danny Kelly Jr killed in possible Maryland road rage incident, police say

Kelly was on his way to a holiday dinner with his family when he was shot and killed

Danny Kelly Jr., a professional boxer who last fought in 2019, was shot and killed on Christmas Eve in what Maryland authorities are investigating as a possible road rage incident.

The 30-year-old and his family were traveling to a holiday event when the suspect’s vehicle pulled up next to the Kelly family vehicle and opened fire, Prince George’s County Police said. It didn’t appear his girlfriend or three children were hurt in the shooting.

Responding officers found Kelly unconscious in the driver’s seat of his vehicle, and he was later pronounced dead at a hospital, police said. Detectives were investigating the deadly incident as a possible road rage incident and are working to identify a suspect and the vehicle, police said.

“This is an absolutely heartbreaking loss for Mr. Kelly’s family and friends. He is not home with his loved ones today on Christmas who are now mourning his loss instead of celebrating the holiday,” Acting Major David Blazer of Prince George’s County Police Department’s Major Crimes Division said in a statement.
