Hi, my name is Keith. Kellen Mahone was my brother and friend. He just moved to LA a year before his murder. He was aspiring to be a law enforcement officer for the LAPD. Our family is originally from Kansas City and we migrated to California to support our bible school which has its headquarters here in LA. My brother Kellen was one of the greatest men I've known. from a young age he's always been patient and always had a ton of friends. I wish the guys who murdered him would have given him a chance to befriend them, because Kellen NEVER discriminated against anybody. Almost like he was on a mission to collect as many friends as he could, lol. I miss him dearly but i hold no ill will towards his murderer's, I just wish they would have given him a chance. you can't possibly understand how close our family is and how devastated we've all been by this. If his murders read this, please know that we really miss him.
