Kevin O’Malley, 25, of Chicago was shot twice in the chest and killed during a late‑night mugging in the Lakeview neighborhood on May 30, 2015. He was a newly certified CPA; family and friends described him as kind, friendly and close to his twin brother Brian.Kristopher Pitts, 26, was arrested at the scene and found in possession of Kevin’s cell phone. Pitts was charged with first‑degree murder.

At trial the prosecution’s handling of the case drew criticism and the jury convicted Pitts of three counts of involuntary manslaughter rather than murder. He was sentenced to five years and expected to be paroled after serving about 11 months, reflecting time already served and good‑behavior credits.The defense said the shooting grew out of a confrontation initiated by Kevin; the prosecution maintained it occurred during a robbery.

Kevin’s family continues to grieve and has expressed disbelief and frustration at the verdict.Has anyone who knew Kevin or witnessed the events that night come forward with information?
