On the morning of November 23, 2018, James Hammersley Biddle, 45, was shot multiple times and killed in his home on Theodore Road in Rising Sun, Maryland. Deputies from the Cecil County Sheriff’s Office found him at the scene and the medical examiner later ruled the death a homicide by multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators identified the suspected shooter as Biddle’s 21-year-old nephew and roommate, Kelly Patrick Biddle Jr. He was taken into custody at the scene with what appeared to be blood on his hands and clothing. Police say a verbal argument between uncle and nephew escalated into a physical confrontation, after which Kelly Biddle Jr. allegedly retrieved a handgun and fired multiple times.

Kelly Patrick Biddle Jr. was charged and held without bond at the Cecil County Detention Center. The case drew attention in the community because the victim’s father witnessed the shooting; the victim’s daughter attended later court proceedings. Does anyone have information about the events at the Theodore Road home that morning or about the family’s interactions in the days before November 23, 2018?
