On the afternoon of July 8, 2025, 18-year-old Shannon Kelsey was fatally stabbed in the chest during a violent confrontation on Southern Boulevard near Westchester Avenue in Longwood, the Bronx. A 911 call just before 4 p.m. brought officers to a chaotic scene: Kelsey collapsed on the sidewalk with a deep chest wound, blood pooling near storefront entrances and display stands, and was later pronounced dead at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln. A 15-year-old boy suffered a lip laceration and was treated at another hospital in stable condition.

Police say the violence began with an alleged attempted robbery and escalated when a man identified as Travis Profit, who investigators allege had been selling drugs, chased the teenagers; officers believe Profit stabbed Kelsey and slashed the younger teen. Profit was later arrested on July 11 and charged with murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, multiple assaults, and weapons counts. During the melee Profit was also shot in the left leg by an unidentified gunman who fled.

Investigators asked the public to help identify an additional suspect described as bald, medium complexion, large build, last seen in a gray tank top and blue shorts, believed to be known to Profit. Did anyone witness the confrontation or recognize the man described by police?
