Danny Kelly Jr., a 30-year-old professional boxer, was shot and killed while driving his family to a Christmas Eve dinner on December 24, 2021, in Temple Hills, Maryland. The shooting occurred at about 4:40 p.m. on St. Barnabas Road when another vehicle pulled alongside Kelly’s SUV and an occupant opened fire. Kelly was found unresponsive in the driver’s seat with gunshot wounds and later died at a hospital. His girlfriend and their three young children were in the vehicle and were physically unharmed.
Prince George’s County police identified a 25-year-old suspect, Markell Lewis of Clinton, after an unrelated arrest for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Ballistic testing tied the recovered gun to the killing, and police reported that Lewis confessed, saying the shooting stemmed from road rage. Lewis was charged with first- and second-degree murder and multiple counts of attempted murder.
