It happened on May 13 near Northwest 86th Terrace and Northwest 18th Avenue in Miami-Dade County.

Kelly is facing charges of kidnapping, aggravated fleeing and eluding causing injury or death, false imprisonment and burglary of an unoccupied structure and third-degree theft from a construction site and petit theft stemming from this case, and he’s also facing charges in another investigation regarding an alleged domestic dispute.
