Vincent Kelley

Vincent Kelley, age 46, died on June 16, 2013, in Washington, Pennsylvania.

He was known as Vinny to his family and friends.

He was shopping with a friend at a mall, Strabane Square, on a Sunday afternoon.

He and his friend were walking out of the Mall when they noticed that a robbery of a Citizens Bank Branch was underway. Vincent tried to jump into the robber's vehicle.

He was shot several times and was either pushed out of or fell out of the robber's vehicle before the robber sped away.

If you have information about this crime, please contact the Washington Police anonymous tip line at 866-433-8477.

The Police state that you should not step in and interrupt armed robberies because it

Father, place Vinny on the stairway to
Heaven

can cost you your life. This is most certainly true. 

Friends describe Vinny as hard-headed.  If there was a fight, he was in the middle of it trying to break it up. He was a peacemaker and a mediator.  

Family members call Vincent their hero. 

Vinny is survived by many loving friends and relatives including his daughter, Sierra Kelley. 

Pray for those who run to do the Right Thing.  They are the unsung heroes.  

Pray that Vincent Kelley is in heaven. Pray that he is at peace and is with God. Amen.
