Kendal Fenwick, 24 of Baltimore, wanted to build a fence around his backyard so that his children would have a safe space to play away from drugs and drug dealers. For this, police said, he was gunned down outside of his home becoming the city’s 295th murder victim. Community members, leaders and Baltimore police came together on a Sunday morning, some straight from church still in their Sunday’s best, to make Fenwick’s dream a reality and complete what he started.
