Police: Man arrested for killing stepson in Prince George's County

According to the Prince George's County Police Department, 68-year-old Jamie Porras is accused of killing 53-year-old Kelly McClary.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — Editor's note: The gender of the victim was incorrect in an earlier version of the story. The victim was the stepson and not stepdaughter. 

Police have arrested a Prince George's County man in connection to the violent death of his stepson.

According to the Prince George's County Police Department, 68-year-old Jamie Porras is accused of killing 53-year-old Kelly McClary. 

McClary's body was found just after 7 a.m. on Oct. 7 at a home on Queen Anne Bridge Road. Officers claim he had suffered "blunt force trauma" and had been stabbed multiple times. 

According to court documents, investigators claim McClary's mother was upstairs at the home when the attack happened. She told officers she heard a strange sound and asked "what is that noise," the suspect allegedly replied, "Nothing, it's Kelly snoring." 

A short time later, McClary's mother tried to go downstairs but Porras reportedly stopped her, pushing her into her bedroom. 

Court documents say Porras then left the home and drove away. When his wife went downstairs to see what was going on, she found McClary's body in the living room. 

Anne Arundel County Police then received a phone call from a caretaker for the Holy Family Catholic Church in Davidsonville. The caller reportedly told police that a man was there who said he tried to kill his stepson. 

Police claim Porra admitted to killing McClary with a hammer and a knife while McClary was sleeping, according to court documents. 

Investigators say Porras was McClary's stepfather. He left the home before officers arrived and was later arrested. He remains in the custody of the Department of Corrections on a no-bond status. 

Porras is charged with first- and second-degree murder. Detectives have not released any information regarding a motive.
