Community gathers in Park Heights to finish fence slain father started
After 24-year-old Kendal Fenwick was fatally shot outside his Park Heights home last week, something didn't sit right with his friends, relatives and neighbors — besides the loss of another of Baltimore's young black men.
A fence he was building around the home where he was raising three children sat unfinished.
It was supposed to keep out the drug dealers who crossed the grassy spaces around the house, on one side where a vacant rowhouse once stood. Instead, police believe it might have made him a target.
As community members mourned Fenwick, they finished Sunday what he started.
Dozens of neighbors, police officers and community leaders gathered at the home in the 3500 block of Park Heights Ave. near Druid Hill Park, digging holes, pouring cement, nailing fence posts and planting flowers.
