'We're Not Going Away' | Family Still Searching For Answers In Unsolved Murder Of Bryan McKemy; FBI Announces $25K Reward
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The FBI is now offering a $25,000 reward for information in the unsolved murder of Bryan McKemy two years after the contractor's death.
On Aug. 7, 2018, Bryan McKemy was killed while he worked as a contractor on a Baltimore home.
The 27-year-old was doing maintenance work on a home in the 4500 block of Woodlea Avenue in the early afternoon when he was shot several times at close range.
"When the dust settled, the only one that was hit was my son, and he died right there on that back porch," Bryan McKemy's father, Scott McKemy, said.
Authorities said Bryan McKemy was not the intended target of the attack and police believe information in his death could lead to charges in this case and lead to clues in other unsolved homicides.
"After two years, we have developed several leads, but we need the public's help in providing us with the final clues to hold his killer or killers responsible and give Bryan's family the justice that they deserve," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Jennifer Boone. "We are hoping that this reward money will convince someone to come forward to ensure those responsible will never be in a position to hurt anyone else."
