On the evening of August 1, 2007, 21-year-old Julia Fils-Aime was shot and killed in Chillum Park in Hyattsville, Maryland. She had been walking with her boyfriend, Von Kelley, when a man approached intending to rob them. As the couple complied, the assailant opened fire, wounding Kelley and fatally striking Fils-Aime.

Police identified Kenneth Billow Jenkins, III as the gunman. The meeting in the park was arranged on the pretense of a marijuana sale. Kelley survived and later identified Jenkins as the shooter. A second person, Dernaldo McGee, was also arrested after cell phone records placed him in contact with Kelley in the minutes before the shooting.

Kenneth Billow Jenkins, III was tried in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County and found guilty of first-degree felony murder, attempted second-degree murder and related charges; he received life in prison plus twenty years. Does anyone have information about Julia, Von Kelley, or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
