MARKHAM | A judge Friday set bond at $200,000 for R&B singer R. Kelly's nephew, who was charged in an armed robbery earlier this month at a Calumet City barbershop.

Brayel Kelly, 16, of Calumet City, has been charged as an adult with attempted murder, attempted armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, Calumet City police Capt. Dan Zorzi said.

Cook County Judge Reginald Baker at the Markham couthouse set the bond and scheduled a preliminary hearing for Brayel Kelly on Dec. 3, said Andy Conklin, spokesman for the Cook County state's attorney's office.

"On Nov. 6 at about 11:47 a.m. at 804 Burnham in Calumet City, Kelly went to Marvelous Cuts Barbershop and received a haircut," Conklin said. "Upon completion of the haircut, Kelly stood and pointed a handgun at the victim and demanded money and jewelry from the victim. The victim then put the requested items in a bag provided to him by Kelly, and (the victim) displayed his own handgun in self-defense, at which point Kelly fired one gunshot directly at him. The victim returned fire, striking Kelly one time. He fled the store and was located by responding officers a few blocks away."

Kelly was not present for the bond hearing. He suffered a gunshot wound to the back. Zorzi said he remains hospitalized at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.
