Oh Momma and Poppa Fenwick, you raised a beautiful young man and I’m so sorry you lost him way too young.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank u to his parents for letting our community get to know him & being a true king & leader & some just may say hero in so many ways, but thank you for lending him to us & sorry you had to lose him in the fashion that you did,I'm truly sorry, no matter how much good we do our bads be way heavier than how others are. SMH this was sinceless & should have never happened, cause if not him then who that day,since he said he couldn't see his face & though it was someone who shot ur gmom house ,he a bum forreal in every way of life
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Send a love, hugs and prayers. Sorry for your loss.😢
God bless you am sorry to here this😢
Agree they really did
His parents have every right to be very proud of their son. What a shame.
Sending prayers to the family I know the feeling Lost My Lil Brother to New Jersey Street 👑

😅
My prayers go out to you and your family may your son rest in peace
The fact that those kids knew to hide in the closet says a lot about how well raised and prepared they were. Very sorry this family had to experience this. He sounds like he was an angel in disguise. 😢
I wouldn’t contribute that to being raised well; not to say they weren’t. I think when children live around violence they react differently. I don’t think my 7 year old knows what gunshots sound like. He’s never heard them.
@@kiaj.d.5855 They knew to stay in that closet until they heard a familiar voice. That's a learned behavior. A well learned behavior considering where they live. They were prepared and did what they were supposed to do.
@@Kris01324 yes that’s what I’m saying. They were most likely being reared well. The preparation was due to their environment.
@@kiaj.d.5855 I see what you're saying now. That makes a lot of sense.
exactly the seahorse 👟 👟 that were born for these missions that many families are going throthrough
To those that finished Kendall’s fence, bless all of you! That was an amazing thing you all did 🫶🏽
His sons will still grow up to be extraordinary because his mother and father raised an extraordinary son. GOD Bless this family. ❤
& daughter
Thank you Kendall for being a hero. You didn’t deserve this 💔
He was doing so much not only for his kids and himself, but his neighbors and neighborhood too.What a great loss to someone who was making a difference. My deepest condolences go out to his family and friends, may his memory forever live in their hearts.R.I.P Kendall.
Rest in power Kendall you maybe be gone from earth but you’re impact will always be honored and remembered by all of your family members and friends and may your children grow into successful men 🕊️♥️💥💋
we need more men like him to save the community and the youth ...
I love that they named the street Kendal Fenwick Way. What a wonderful & well deserved tribute to a young man trying to make a change in his community & keep his kids safe!! ❤
Totally Agree 💯 👍
i think fenwick place or fenwick street would have sounded much better, either way that is cool for the city to have named the street after him, prayers for the fenwick family, i hope all is well down yonder in baltimore, love from michigan
I just want to hug his mom. ❤
Me too 😢💜🙏🏿
Now these are the parents and fathers that young, black children need in their lives. I hope his mom and dad go on to channel their frustrations to help the youth in baltimore.
"channel" their frustrations?
My heart!!! What a decent, kind young man. I pray that others pick up where he left off, carry on his works. Deepest condolences to his children, parents and everyone that loved him.
The very great ones always seem to be taken so soon. A father a protector, a giver to so many around him. His the kind of person I would love to roll with. Rest in eternal peace Kendel Fenwick.
That to seem like it's always the case. But in reality God' is always in charge things we don't understand.
I myself looks back over my life, when my ex husband shot me nine times. I died they were getting ready to take me to the morgue when God' brought me back to Life. And to this day. I'm grateful and thankful, it just wasn't my time.
Hallelujah Jesus' Hallelujah
Darkness always tries to extinguish the light.
Rest in Forever Peace Paradise, Kendall. I'm sorry that all who love this beautiful soul will have to miss him.
He protected and did everything he could for those kids until the very end of his life💔 The way the devil snatches these innocent souls isn’t fair. He deserved to see those kids grow up and thrive. He deserved a long life.
My ❤️ is with his Mom.
God please heal this grandma's heart and take care of his babies.
Wow I’m from Baltimore and lived on that street. Such a sad ending for his family. His parents are so strong 😢Sending them love and support.
On a sidenote this was a very well put together production. I hardly ever hear the full story and ending when stuff like this happens in Baltimore.
There’s a lot of murder in the city but his and a few others I will never forget. His murder reminded me of the Dawson family who were also murdered in a house fire because they didn’t want the drug dealers selling around their house. This was so sad to me when it happened in 2015 and I cried today watching this 😔
Just last night I watched a show about the Dawson case. ❤breaking.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏽
@@lisabradford8180Where did u watch it pls
u from baltimore? @Shells004
It breaks my heart for the parents and for his kids but it was so heart warming to see the community come together to finish the fence anyway this left me in tears!! God bless this family and the community!
Beautiful family. He sounded like he was a great guy and father xx bless to his sons.
The terror, disruption, & destruction our own people cause towards each other is awfully sickening, disturbing, & quite despicable. 🤮😡😡
We are TRULY our own worse enemies… NO ONE will treat our people right until we 1st repent & commit to God’s will for us, then treat each other right.
Tragedy wreaks so much havoc on our communities. Praying for strength for this & all families that lose people, particularly to violence. 😢🙏🏽
Well said! 👍👍👍
Well said!!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
When will we humans learn to love one another? To be kind, honest, and caring towards one another?
Well well STATED. AGREE
To the Fenwick family, I am so sorry for your loss and our prayers and condolences to all of you. This young man was an awesome dad and family member. What a legacy for the integrity of this young man. I pray that whoever did this is caught and arrested.😢
Sad. This Senseless violence has to STOP
TOUGH SHIT!!!!!!
@@stewartvolk5156WHAT?!!
@@curlycanna2440a troll no doubt.
What a handsome sweet caring and wonderful Father ,Son and friend ,Im so very very sorry for what happen to him .Its so damm disgusting that this man couldnt stay safe at his own home ,doing and living his life right ,DAmm 😭😭😭😭
Truly one of the good guys. My heart goes out to his parents and all who loved him. What a wonderful man, gone far too soon at the hands of evils.
I remember when this happened 🥹🙏🏽 I’m sitting here in tears . Those babies had to be there, omg. A great dad and a good man, a young man at that smh. Looked just like his mom 💕 this is heartbreaking
Makes me sick that this young man was doing his best to improve his neighborhood, rise his children right and some people want to keep him down. Sick, just sick. His children will hopefully continue to have dads mindset and continue dads legacy.
Hearing his mom breaks my heart sending prayers of healing for her and the family😭🙏🏿🕊️
This is so heartbreaking. I burst out in tears seeing everyone coming together to finish erecting the fence around the home. Such beauty in the midst of a tragedy. Blessings to all the loved ones left behind.
Damn I just came across the story I ride past that house every day going home and going to work prayers and continuing healing goes out to his family especially those children RIP Kendrick
RIP Kendall Fenwick
Seeing the mother cry for her grandchildren breaks my heart 😢
😓💜🙏🏿
que paso, you sureña?
Girlll yesss she had me crying the whole time
I’m so pleased those fences went up. I live in West Australia & everyone has fences…even public housing houses. I’m so sorry for your loss 🌹
Deepest condolences to the Fenwick family & friends on this incredible loss.
What a great father son and friend he was. May his sons become as great as he was. My love to your family❤
Wow! This absolutely breaks my heart and hit really is a hometown tragedy because I'm so close to where this happened...so heartbreaking! We need more people like Kendal in this world! My prayers go out to his precious children, parents and all his family and friends!🙏🏻 ❤
🕯️🙏🏻💔😢💕
Thank you once again Very Local. I have no doubt this family, this community, want their story shared, because this bad guy doesn't represent them, he represents himself ONLY. The fact that police didn't get a wall of silence when it came to info about Fenwick's murder shows just how much he was respected by his commu & peers. I dearly hope his family have found solace, because their pain sounds, feels, so fresh, deep 🤞🏻🕯️🙏🏻💔😢
I send my condolences to the family and his children. He seems like he was a good father, brother, cousin, Uncle, son, nephew, etc
My condolences to his children and the whole family. He sound like he was great and we need more like Him.
Lord I pray for this Mom and Dad..their so Heartbroken 💔 I pray both continues to receive the strength and healing God gives to each of them everyday🪽💔 My Condolences to the whole Entire Family 💐🌹🥀
This is sad. But it seems as though his tragic death was used to create the change that he was after all along. God bless the family and his children.
I said the same thing. He was a hero, and he will always be remembered as such.
Sometimes a precious life has to be sacrificed to root out evil and bring about change.
This man's death was not in vain, and God used it to honor him, his family, and the community.
We only die in the body, not in the spirit. Those who are like him will see him again.
When his cousin said "Say something do something" I understood every word. My family went through the same thing but we blame the justice system in Houston. My cousin killers where out on bail for armed robbery. Their last robbery charge had murder added.
This is why you have to leave people and neighborhoods that no longer serve you when you have a can do mind set. Crabs will always try and pull you down with them.
No people need to stop committing fucking crimes, why do good people have to leave their neighborhoods because of trash? People need to stop being pussies & stand up to the bullshit
It's nothing wrong with staying in your community trying to make a difference. It's unfortunate that we do have bad apples in the neighborhood so to me your comment is so ignorant and disrespectful.
Courage Under Fire.... While you try to push cowardly actions, especially in the comment section of a man who truly showed courage under fire.
@detresed Your comment is the ignorant one. Even the Bible tells you what the commenter stated. A prophet isn't welcome in his home town. You can change any neighborhood but still living amongst beings that you are not, will also work to your disadvantage. When your from where Kendall was from you will understand why the comment was made. I am, these words come from having and living this experience daily. I am not condoning evil or negative behavior anywhere. I am saying do not live where your trying to help. Jealousy, envy, and even mistaken identity about the usual crimes will be present. Staying alive is a goal for a black man in Baltimore. His heart was in the right place but he didn't think his moves through. Buying a house in Park Heights is a matter of time before problems are at your door. It's not a possibility it's a certainty.
@@NAH14386Well said

Your great works have gained you your crown!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🪽🪽🪽Rest In Peace Kendall
My condolences to the family. We lost a hero. God help this world.
Yes we did!
This channel should cover the tradgedy in the small town of Eastchester NY. When a crazed gunman locked himself in a house and killed a cop. The standoff lasted 6-8 hours and changed that town forever. I grew up a few houses down from the tragedy. I'll never forget it
So very sad I’m so glad justice was served praying for his family ❤
Sad Situation !! May God Continue to Bless and Keep his kids and family!!! 🙏
Wow ! And I was born and raised up in West Baltimore, and I use to work at Pimlico Race Track, and I am so so so sorry to hear of this. ( Lord Jesus ) 😞🙏🏾 & this hits home hard 😢🙏🏾
Even in his death, he was protecting his babies and that area
Whew thisss made me cry🥹 that grief so hard … he didn’t deserve that at all and for these babies to keep losing their fathers over something so senseless !!
My heart goes out to the family so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻🙏🏻..this is so sad someone took this young man life 🙏🏻🙏🏻
He was something we
Needed today! This is sad and hurtful man ppl don’t know the domino effect they cause when taking a life. I’m so sorry this is your reality may god give back ten fold to ease the pain of this magnitude of loss! Bless his babies 😢
My lil cousin dad rip Kendall 😢
❤
Sounds like he was a good guy and some one was jealous of him so sad that we live in this kind of world
Prayers and condolences to the family and his children. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🫂🫂🫂
Baltimore is crazy something needs to b done so evil to killl ppl for no reason😢
Being born in Baltimore this is so disturbing. We try, we do and someone like us takes it away.
RIP! They always say it “the good die young.” 😢😢😮 his poor parents & children!
It's sad to see this the world 🌎 we lives in. Our young black men's are constantly using their lives. My prayers r with both families. Just last year of 8/17/22 I buried my 21yr old baby. My child life was cut very short and I'm fighting for justice. In Jesus Name Amen 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
So sorry for your loss. I hope you get justice for your baby.
😢🙏🙏🙏
My condolences! 💐 I can only imagine the pain, emptiness and confusion you must feel. I truly hope you get justice.
My heart goes out to his family. My son was shot and killed by a supposed to be best friend just because he was tired of my son talking. My son was a good son he wasn't in the streets he was a family man he leaves 3 children and I'm left with nothing but pain and hurt. So I know the feeling and pain
Omg how sad😢 my deepest condolences to you and your family
That’s crazy killed because he got tired of him talking he should’ve just left
Just a senseless murder an outstanding young man life stolen. I pray that God continue to watch over hi family and neighborhood as he did. Shield those babies from a life of crime and gun violence. May they grow up and walk in their dad’s footsteps my condolences to his family. May his legacy live forever. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️♥️♥️
Your family has to pool their money together and get out! Period! The good people can't keep sacrificing their lives! Move...and LIVE! ❤
This was such inspiring story, such a wholesome young man I really hate what happen to him. I pray his parents are able to see his son's and daughter achieve. Because their son was truly a blessing and even in death he was love. Only thing I cried through a lot of the story. May God continue to put a hedge of protection around his children and other family members.
God bless this family. So sorry for your loss🌺
I love how the community came together to help the family with the fence. Justice for Mr Fenwick😢. if u see something say something .. forget the street code it could your family member next so please do the right thing for the family 😢
wats good shawty, u from baltimore?
keep your head up, i hope all is well over yonder
I just saw this. Kendall sounds like a wonderful human being. This story is a tribute to him and his whole family and loved ones. The fence is a beautiful gift. He would be so proud. I am. May God Bless you all.
This is so heartbreaking. He seems like such a kind and beautiful soul. Praying for his family
What a shame.
The jury actually acquitted a murderer wow if the prosecutor wasn't strong he would have walked and killed again what kind of people were these jurors he pleaded guilty he knew he done it smfh
Sending lot's of prayers to Kendall"s family. God bless them, and keep them safe. 🙌🫶🙏🏼
I Hate when we Loss the Great Ones, Drug Dealers and Gangbangers make me so sick 😫 they see a Man trying to be a Father, Hard Working, Helping the Community the Elderly the Youth, there so Heartless and Jealous of Men who are doing the right thing, My Deepest Condolences to His Family 🙏🕊
People like him we need to cherish and protect more and not allow them to shot for no significant reason. The murderer is someone who has the most to gain from this young man demise. He was helping his community and staying away from criminals and any other negative people.
Such a tragic story.. My sincere condolences to all affected after losing a Real Soldier.
He was a positive son, man, leader, father, and a amazing force that was taking away from his family and love ones way to soon.
Rest in heavenly peace, my condolences to his family.
Prayers coming for his mother, and his children, may God keep them all safe.
He really sound like he was an amazing person to be around and always finding time to help others, Bravo way to go young man!!
What a brave young man,He was loved by his friends and family. He was a hard worker and still tried to save his community.
. ❤Taking care of 3 children, one being a baby. I am curious what happened to the mother of the children?
I was looking for this comment. Wondering the same!
I am surprise that he and his family didn't see this coming. When you live with monsters, they want you to join their lifestyle or else they will retaliate. Same with people who try to do away with drug dealers will find themselves a target. It really is a no win situation when your dealing with evil monsters. R.I.P ✝️. Condolences to the family and loved ones 🙏.
Surprise they didn't see this coming...this comment is so ignorant and disrespectful and has no relation as to what happened.
Definitely a better way to phrase all of this. SMH
Mama the 13 years old is gone grow up to protect his younger siblings and be a man like your son was God will give home everything he deserve in life and it will be amazing watch you will be proud of him just like you was proud of your son watch how God work I love you mama
My condolences to his loved ones. What a righteous young man may his soul rest in peace. Shalom
Never lie to children. Maybe not tell them everything but never lie to them.
They remember everything and like a sponge mimic whatever they see so be careful and respectful when you are around them ❤❤❤
Is it possible to be racist against your own people well the so called African American thugs, Gang bangers and drug dealers. Law abiding Niji people I love, i just dislike criminals who wreak havoc on the community and people that look them. We our own worst enemy and stop blaming other races for ignorance and the way some brought up. RIP King we need more like him.
Thank you!!!!
@@nakitapalmer656Same here. That city is the pits. I visited there when they last won the super bowl. We saw grown men selling drugs in the streets people looked horrible. It's really sad how the people have no shame about how the community looks. Once I read about this story I wasn't surprised.
This😢 just breaks my heart. I’m so disgusted and disappointed. It’s so sad to hear these tragedies over and over again. No family deserves this type of pain. No one. I can feel the parent’s pain oozing through the screen. I pray that his memory lives on and his children will always have a safe place. May the family find peace and comfort that surpasses understanding. May the community continue to stand for what is right, support each other and never allow devastation like that to happen again.
Why do we lose our leaders ppl who love others always find time to share the love That have to others! Rest east young king 😢
Sending love mama and daddy ❣️❣️❣️❣️
AND EVEN IN THE SPIRIT , HE IS STILL BEAUTIFUL , NOW THAT'S SPECIAL , HE IS STILL THEIR FOR HIS CHILDREN & FAMILY , WOW , NOW THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL ENDING , " LOVE CONQUERED TRAGEDY "😇❤😇❤😇❤😇
He was a beautiful soul, an amazing human and now an angel, that has managed to make a major impact for all through his death. How evil always wants nothing more than to to tear down those who do good.
When you want better for yourself and your kids, you just have to leave your neighborhood. I respect people who want to stay in their neighborhood and live a better life or try to clean it up but too often, those are the one who are killed. These kids lost their father. I just wished he picked up and moved 30-40 miles out the city. I left my hood and bought a home in a new city, nice community. Best decision ever. I can’t imagine raising my child where I grew up. No way. This is so sad but where he chose to live had everything to do with the chances of something like this happening to him.
Leaving isn’t the answer communities need to do more & stop allowing bullshit where they live but oh no these are their children & grandchildren. We need more parents like Gator’s dad(Jungle Fever)
@@lovelyp7439 you need to do more from outside your community. We can agree to disagree but I’m not living somewhere where I have to duck in my own house because of the constant shootings outside. You can’t even go to the gas station or to the local store without becoming a victim. I’m all for change and helping my community but not at the expense of my life or child’s life. Nipsey Hussle was making big changes in his neighborhood. He was gunned down in the same neighborhood he trying to help. Invest in your community but if you live in a dangerous area where you constantly ducking criminal activity, it’s not worth it. Can’t help your community if you can’t protect or help yourself first.
@@MelissaLonaYou are on point! Sad it’s gotta be that way but I agree.
@@MelissaLonaexactly
Good for you and your move to probably a predominantly white neighborhood. It was nothing wrong with him purchasing a home in his neighborhood, which is a home he probably could afford at the time so your comment about I wish he would have did this and that is so disrespectful to th family.
Sorry for their loss R.i.p. young man.
I will always shout this: sometimes, the best thing is to move away and relocate with your kids. Tamera and Tia always said this about their mum relocating them.
I'm so sorry for your loss he was a awesome Son and father.
What a heartberaking story.
Sadly I believe LE can not win the fight against drugs and drug related crime. Addiction is stronger, as long as there are ppl. asking for drugs there will be ruthless and cruel dealers/thugs out there doing anythig to get by.
His parents raised such a good man. I know they're very proud of him. He was a hero for running away from his house to protect those babies.😢❤
RIP
MR KENDAL FENWICK
🙏🙏⚘️⚘️
These young men grow up without love they hate to see good people 😢😢 rip
Sending prayers to the babies & the family!. Rip Kendal! He was a great man! .
Rest in peace my brother we need more roles model like you
He was a hero and passed for a cause protecting his children from the streets and crime and drugs.💙💪🏾🕊💙🕊💪🏾💙
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 My prayers to this family..so heartbreaking 💔💔
