Vigil scheduled for slain Fishtown man

POSTED: Monday, November 14, 2011, 4:35 PM

Fishtowners and supporters will gather at the 1300 Block of Hewson Street tonight in memory of 27-year-old Shane Kelly, who was killed during an attempted robbery early Sunday morning. At 7 p.m., they'll meet to "stand together as a community in mourning. Come out to let these criminals know that we're not going to let them take over our neighborhood," urged posters on the Fishtown.us message board. Police have arrested and charged a local man, Ryan McManus, 20, of Sepviva Street in Kensington, with the murder.
