Isaac Jermaine Kelly, 33, of Perris, California, was fatally shot on October 3, 2015, at the Meadow View Apartment Complex in Perris. Kelly, who had lived much of his life in Port Arthur, Texas, was on his way to pick up mail near his apartment when a security guard reportedly mistook his mail keys for a gun and opened fire, striking him multiple times. The shooting occurred a short distance from the apartment Kelly shared with his uncle; witnesses including the uncle heard multiple shots and found Kelly on the ground while the guard attempted CPR.

The security guard said he believed Kelly was armed and acted in self-defense, but neighbors and family disputed that account, insisting Kelly was unarmed and posed no threat. The Riverside County Sheriff’s Department opened an investigation into whether the use of deadly force was justified; at the time of reporting no criminal charges had been filed. Family members, led by Kelly’s mother Janice Sly, have sought answers and indicated they were pursuing legal action against the security company and apartment management.

Does anyone have additional information about that night or about the investigation that followed?
