Randy Martin Kelly, a 65-year-old man from Sanford, North Carolina, passed away on November 29, 2022, at his home. He was born on June 7, 1957, and spent his professional life in logging, carpentry work, and construction. Randy was known for his love of the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He is survived by his wife, Corina Kelly, his son, Joseph Martin Kelly, and his brothers, Wayne Clinton Kelly and Bruce Allen Kelly.
Tragically, Randy's death was the result of a shooting
incident. On November 29, 2022, deputies responded to a welfare-check call at Randy's residence on Buckhorn Road and found him unresponsive with gunshot wounds. He was later pronounced dead at the scene. An investigation was launched, and arrest warrants were issued for Randy's son, Joseph Martin Kelly, who was considered armed and dangerous.
Joseph Martin Kelly was found dead on December 14, 2022, in a wooded area on Buckhorn Road. The investigation revealed that Joseph died from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Multiple agencies, including the Lee County Sheriff's Office and Harnett County Sheriff's Office, assisted in the investigation.
The case remains under investigation, and authorities continue to seek information from the public regarding the circumstances surrounding Randy Martin Kelly's death.
