Tito Kelly Death News: 36-Year-Old Hamilton Man, Tito Kelly Shot Dead in Herkimer Street and Caroline Street South
Tito Kelly Death News: The Hamilton man who police say died of a gunshot wound following a shooting in the city Tuesday night was 36-year-old Tito Kelly.
He is the city’s eighth homicide victim this year.
Shortly before 11 p.m., Hamilton police responded to reports of multiple gunshots in the area of Herkimer Street and Caroline Street South.
Detective Sergeant Sara Beck spoke to reporters outside Hamilton Police’s central station on Wednesday afternoon. She said police found Kelly in an alleyway near where the shooting occurred, that he lived in the area, and that he died in the hospital.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time,” she said.
Beck asked residents and motorists in the area to check any camera footage between 10:40 and 11 p.m. for images of a royal blue four-door sedan, which police say quickly drove westbound on Markland Street around the time of the shooting. They describe the vehicle in question as “similar to a Honda Civic or Mazda 3 with a dark tint.”
Beck said that shortly after the shooting, a man who had been shot showed up in a local hospital. She said he’s in stable condition in the hospital but would not share any other information about him.
