15-year-old wounded after alleged robbery attempt

The 15-year-old nephew of R&B star R. Kelly has been shot in the chest after a robbery attempt in Chicago on Thursday.

Brandon Kelly was shot around 4 p.m. after Chicago police say he attempted to rob a barbershop. Brandon is the son of R. Kelly’s brother Carey Kelly.

“I had to hurry up and run over here to find out what’s going on, because I called and didn’t know what was going on,” Carey Kelly said on Fox News Chicago.

“The bullet went through is right side, and it went through his lungs. His lungs had collapsed and [the bullet] also pierced his liver. He’s heavily medicated…for the pain,” Kelly continued. “They urged me not to talk about anything that happened while the investigation is going on.”

Carey Kelly is R. Kelly’s younger brother who the singer accused of being on the sex tape that surfaced over six years ago, resulting in child-pornography charges the singer later beat.

Brandon Kelly is currently in police custody for the alleged robbery.
