The mother of Kenneka Jenkins, a Chicago teen who died in a hotel freezer, has gone viral for her own distressing moment.
Recent video footage spread of the grieving woman walking around the streets naked during the brisk Chicago winter. The footage displayed Jenkins’ mother, Teresa Martin, with cries of justice for her deceased child. Viewers can overhear Martin saying “Justice for Kenneka” and “justice for all.”
The unfortunate circumstance comes weeks after Martin posted another update about her continued quest for answers over Jenkins’ death. The grieving mother disclosed that she has not received any of her late daughter’s personal items since the day she died.
“They promised answers about my daughter’s death, but those promises were never kept,” Martin wrote, according to Shine My Crown.
The unusual case became even more controversial after officials ruled the death an accident. However, Martin refuses to believe her daughter’s death was purely unintentional, continuing to advocate for justice.
Others also found the investigation controversial, empathizing with Martin on its lack of resolve. Since her daughter’s widely known case, Martin has remained a staunch advocate for her late child.
However, many see this latest instance as an indicator of the emotional toll of this years-long journey. Neither the mother nor her representative has released a statement on the incident.
