Kenneth Duane Kelly Jr., known as Lil Kenny, was 23 when he was found fatally shot inside a Portland Street residence in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Officers responded to shots fired on the afternoon of June 13, 2019, and investigators described the death as a homicide.

Early investigative details pointed to a home invasion robbery involving at least two male suspects. One assailant was thought to have been wounded, as blood was left at the scene. Police released descriptions seeking two men: one about 6 feet 2 inches with a medium build and twisted dreadlocks, the other about 5 feet 9 inches with a slender build, both believed to be in their early twenties. Kelly’s family, friends, and a local funeral home offered a reward for information leading to arrest and conviction.

The case remained an open and painful matter for the community. Does anyone have information about the people seen near Portland Street on June 13, 2019, or about Kenneth’s last known movements?
