Kevin Scott Kennard, a 58-year-old African American man from Fort Worth, Texas, was tragically shot and killed on October 25, 2021. Known affectionately as "KP," Kennard was a well-loved community activist and peacemaker who often intervened in conflicts to help keep the peace. On the night of his death, he was a passenger in a vehicle leaving a residential area in the 1300 block of Savage Drive when he was fatally shot.
It is believed that Kennard was not the intended target but was caught in the crossfire while trying to diffuse an altercation.
Despite the presence of several witnesses, no arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. Cory Session, Kennard's brother and a prominent activist, has been tirelessly seeking justice for his brother's death. Session has even offered a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. The Fort Worth Police Department continues to urge anyone with information to come forward to help solve the case.
Kennard's legacy as a peacemaker and his dedication to justice, including his work on wrongful conviction cases, has left a lasting impact on his community. His family and friends remember him fondly, and his loss is deeply felt by all who knew him.
