Joel Kelly faces serious charges after allegedly firing a ghost gun in a housing complex and attempting to shoot at police officers. Prosecutors assert he had intention to kill, while the defense argues the gun discharged accidentally during a fall. The incident, which occurred on July 27, 2024, drew police attention and courtroom interest. As trial proceedings begin, both sides prepare for a contentious battle over the interpretation of Kelly's actions during the chase and his intent when the gun fired.
Kelly's attorney claimed the attention was unwarranted and more likely a tool to make an example out of the defendant.
At some point during this chase, Kelly fell over in the courtyard of the Beach 41st Street Houses. When he attempted to get up, he turned to look at the two officers.
