Kevin Matthew Kilpatrick, 30, of Shavertown, Pennsylvania, was fatally shot on August 31, 2023. He was found dead inside a Chase Road residence in Jackson Township after Pennsylvania State Police at Wilkes-Barre and Jackson Township police responded to a 911 call placed by his brother, identified as John James Kilpatrick, who reportedly told the dispatcher he had killed his brother. John Kilpatrick was taken into custody and charged with criminal homicide.

Kevin was born in Englewood, New Jersey, and was the son of James and Elena Kilpatrick. A graduate of Abington Heights High School and a member of the 2010 Lackawanna League District 2 Championship football team, he later attended West Chester University and played football there. He celebrated his Russian Orthodox faith, enjoyed gardening, the beach and annual family trips to Long Beach Island, and was close to his dog Beckley and his family.

After his arrest, John Kilpatrick underwent a psychological evaluation and was found incompetent to stand trial; a judge ordered his commitment to Norristown State Hospital for treatment and set a re-evaluation timeline. Court records as of October 2024 noted a plea agreement was in progress. If anyone knew Kevin or has information about the case, please share what is known.
