Kelvin Phillips was 19 when he was shot and killed in St. Louis in August 2018. A standout football player at Hazelwood East High School, Kelvin played alongside his younger brother Kelvon; their mother, Angel Mays, described them as inseparable. Six months after Kelvin’s death, Kelvon, also 19, was shot and killed in a hotel parking lot in North St. Louis County. An arrest was later made in Kelvon’s case, but Kelvin’s murder remains unsolved and open.

The family and community suffered the loss of both brothers within months, heightening the tragedy around Kelvin’s death. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been reported in Kelvin’s case. If anyone knew Kelvin, his movements that August, or has information relevant to his killing, please come forward.
