Elgin teen fatally shot before Lil Durk concert had plans to open his own auto shop

Jesse Kendall, a high school senior who was fatally shot Sunday while on his way to a Lil Durk concert, had dreams of opening up his own automotive shop after college.

The Elgin teen was an entrepreneur who started a landscaping business and detailed cars for his friends and neighbors, his family said.

“Everyone who knew him loved him,” said Tommy Kendall, his older brother. “We’re going to miss him. I just never thought something like this would happen — especially to him.”

Jesse, 18, and four friends were making their way to the United Center Sunday night when they were confronted by four assailants. The attackers robbed them at gunpoint before fatally shooting Jesse, according to Chicago police.
