On the morning of November 1, 2015, 37-year-old Ronnie Kelly was found dead in his Richmond, Kentucky, apartment on Turpin Drive from an apparent gunshot wound to the head. The scene was treated as a homicide and investigators soon made arrests in connection with the case.

Police arrested 28-year-old Adrian Collins on charges of murder and tampering with physical evidence and arrested his 61-year-old mother, Melissa Collins, on a charge of tampering with physical evidence. An arrest citation is reported to have stated that Melissa Collins told officers her son Adrian had used a gun to shoot Kelly. Investigators also reported that the firearm allegedly used was hidden in a plastic bag in Melissa Collins’ closet.

Reports at the time did not disclose the relationship, if any, between Kelly and the Collinses, nor did they provide a motive or information on trial dates, verdicts, or sentences. Does anyone have information about Ronnie Kelly’s life in Richmond or about the people involved that could help move this case forward?
