In an interview with the station, Kelly’s relatives highlighted his role a father and the love his children had for him as his love for them. A reason why someone would want to harm Kelly was something the relatives said they have no idea about.

“He was a wonderful dad,” Kelly’s godmother, Bernadine Walker, told the WUSA. “He loved his babies. He loved his children.”

“The children loved him because he was playful,” his grandmother, whose name was withheld, said. “We loved him because he was always there for all of us.”
