In the summer of 2018, the life of 19-year-old Kelvin Phillips was tragically cut short in St. Louis. He was shot and killed in August, a devastating event for his family and friends. Kelvin, along with his younger brother Kelvon, was a celebrated football player at Hazelwood East High School, where they were known for their close bond, even being described by their mother, Angel Mays, as 'inseparable.'
The heartbreak for the Phillips family was compounded just six months later when
Kelvin's brother, Kelvon, also 19 at the time, was shot and killed in a hotel parking lot in North St. Louis County. While an arrest was made in Kelvon's case, the investigation into Kelvin's death has remained open and unsolved.
The loss of both sons within such a short period left their mother and the community reeling. Their shared passion for football and their inseparable nature made the back-to-back tragedies even more poignant. As of the latest available information, there have been no arrests or publicly identified suspects in the murder of Kelvin Phillips, and his case remains an open wound for a family that has already endured so much loss.
