Fundraiser launched for orphaned children of Memphis Facebook Live shooting spree victim

As The Post Millennial Editor-at-Large Andy Ngo writes, the children's father is also deceased so Kelly's murder of their mother leaves them orphaned.

The children's aunt on their father's side, Lynda Parker Menard, wrote "Their lives are forever changed and we pray that there will be some light through all of this darkness. Alli overcame a lot but it only made her softer, want to give more, love more. Thank all of you so much for showing the children there is still good in the world."

Ngo writes, Kelly shot Allison Parker "who tried to help him when he reportedly pretended to need assistance on the road."

"All money raised for these sweet children will be used to support them in this time of need and help provide for their future," their GoFundMe site says.

Kelly allegedly began his frenzy around 12:56 am on Wednesday morning when he gunned down Dewayne Tunstall in his driveway. Neighbors said Tunstall and Kelly were childhood friends and Tunstall was a father with another on the way. Friends said Tunstall "believed in helping others in any way possible."

Kelly then drove and brandished his weapon randomly around town. Next he unloaded on a still unidentified man, idling in his car around 4:38 pm, killing him instantly. A few minutes later he shot a woman near Memphis' I-240. She survived having only been shot in the leg.

Around 6pm he entered an AutoZone and blasted Rodolfo Berger, whom he caught unaware as he was waiting in line. Berger is alive but still in critical condition and a GoFundMe has been set up for him as well.

Kelly uttered loosely strung together phrases such as "no faking" and "this sh*t is so real!" as he shot Berger in an incident he also live streamed on Facebook.

It was around 7:23 pm that suspect Kelly murdered mother Allison Parker, a West Memphis nurse who thought she was being a good Samaritan. Kelly jacked Parker's car after killing the woman in front of her daughter.

Kelly shot another man, who survived, within minutes of killing Parker and then killed his last victim at 8:55 pm, who he tried to carjack to again switch vehicles.

He then led police on a high speed chase on I-55 that eventually led to his arrest.

Kelly's public defender is attorney is Jennifer Case, who is also representing Cleotha Abston, the culprit who allegedly kidnapped and murdered mother and schoolteacher Eliza Fletcher last week in another high profile incident of crime in the Democrat led city.
