SMH: Terry Kennedy Potentially Facing Murder Charges

Pro skateboarder charged with first-degree murder after Wheaton man dies

You’ve likely already heard that Terry Kennedy was arrested last week for allegedly assaulting Josiah Kassahun at a hotel outside of Chicago. News broke today that the 23-year-old died from his injuries. Now, Kennedy may be facing murder charges as well. There’s no additional information on what led to this tragedy. But a Gofundme has been set up in support of Kassahun’s family.

On Tuesday July 27th, 2021 Josiah Kassahun was brutally attacked by by professional skateboarder Terry Kennedy. He recently passed away from those injuries. This GoFundMe was created to help with expenses related to hospitalization, funeral costs, and future memorials.

Josiah was and will always be remembered as the perfect friend to everyone who had the good fortune of meeting him. He was loved and had much love to give and he will be dearly missed by an infinite number of people. In these trying times we ask that you help by donating to ease financial burden the family is experiencing as well as to create a memorial for him. All proceeds from this GoFundMe will go directly to the family.

Kennedy is currently being held on $100,000 bail.
