Summary

Michelle Kenan, founder of the 5K Foundation, was fatally shot in her apartment on Rochelle Street—she was looking out the window when the gunman fired. Now, the foundation is rallying the community for a virtual fundraiser to help her family cover funeral costs and support her 12-year-old daughter during this devastating loss. Co-founder Tangela Kenan says even small donations matter. The Durham Police are investigating with no arrests yet, urging anyone with info to contact Corporal J. Justice or CrimeStoppers. A memorial is also being planned to honor Michelle’s legacy and unite the community in grief. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
