BALTIMORE — Concerned residents, friends, political figures and police officers came together to finish what a slain father had started.
Kendal Fenwick, 24, was gunned down outside his home on Park Heights Avenue in west Baltimore. He was in the process of building a fence around his backyard to keep drugs and drug dealers away from his family home.
A truck driver, Fenwick wanted to give his three children a a safe haven in the midst of a city plagued by violence. For his actions, police said, he became the 295th homicide victim in a city where murders have now climbed past 300.
On a bright, crisp Sunday morning, dozens gathered to pitch in and help complete that dream. Attorney Ivan Bates, a friend of Fenwick’s father, helped launch the event through social media and a hashtag #FinishTheFence.
