Ricky Kelly, 29, was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside a Southwest Washington, D.C., residence on the 100 block of Ivanhoe Street SW. Police responded about 7:40 a.m. on October 10, 2014, and emergency personnel pronounced him dead at the scene.

That same day authorities arrested two men, Gregory Smithwick, 22, of Northwest D.C., and Dominique Holmes, 23, of Southeast D.C., charging both with first-degree murder while armed. They were also implicated in an assault with a dangerous weapon and a carjacking that occurred that morning. Charging documents said the suspects believed Kelly was responsible for the earlier death of their friend, Kevin Lucas. Two individuals later pleaded guilty in connection with the shooting.

Kelly’s family and acquaintances remembered him as kind and humble, with a smile that could light up a room. Does anyone have information about Ricky’s life or the events that morning?
