R. Kelly Nephew SHOT During Robbery!!!!!!!

R. Kelly's 15-year-old nephew was shot late last night -- and cops say he was trying to rob a barbershop.
The nephew was shot twice by the store owner, according to police -- but the victim's father Carey Kelly (R.'s brother) says the kid may have just been an innocent victim of someone else who was robbing the store.

The nephew is currently being treated at a Chicago area hospital for a chest wound.

UPDATE: According to FOX 32, cops have the injured nephew's brother -- Brandon -- in custody for the alleged robbery.

Comment by jDallas Media Broadcasting on November 7, 2008 at 4:10pm: I don't think that's the case. R. Kelly had to work and get his, why should his family have their hands out? They need to get on their hustle like he did. What people fail to realize is that most people do things just because not because they have to. They probabally thought robbing a barbershop was a good idea and turn out not to be. Even if R., gave them some cash and they ran through it without trying to make it grow legitably they probabally would have did the same thing.

It has nothing to do with being from Chicago. I dodn't understand why when one person make it they have to spread the wealth, if they do that, they would be back at square 1 BROKE! Take responsibilty for yourselves and stop looking for handouts. That's the issue with my black people now, want something for nothing.

Just my thoughts.
