Nick Cannon hits the streets of St. Louis to protest after a former police officer was let off the hook after killing a black man. Also, surveillance video of Chicago teen Kenneka Jenkins on the night of her death has been released. Get all of the details inside…
Nick Cannon is very vocal when it comes to standing up against social and racial injustices. And yesterday, he took his activism to the streets.
The “Wild ‘N Out” host whipped out his Colin Kaepernick jersey and hit the streets of St. Louis to protest alongside protestors. People are fuming after the acquittal of a former police officer, Jason Stockley, who was charged with first-degree murder of 24-year-old Anthony Lamar Smith in 2011. It's rumored the officer planted the gun on Anthony and he used that as his self-defense claim.
The YBF comedian/actor peacefully marched alongside hundreds of people in the streets in downtown St Louis. He also snapped flicks with fans who were happy to see him out showing support.

Surveillance video of the 19-year-old Chicago girl who’s body was found in a hotel freezer was recently released.
Police are investigating the mysterious death of Kenneka Jenkins after she was found dead inside of a freezer at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel last weekend. She and a few friends had gone to the hotel for a party (Friday, September 9th) and she mysteriously ended up dead and no one knows what happened. The story has taken over headlines as conspiracy theories have been popping up left and right on social media about what actually happened.
After a night of partying and drinking Friday night, her friends couldn’t find her when they were ready to leave. They ended up driving Kenneka’s mother’s car (Kenneka’s mom lent her to drive) back to her home to inform her mother they couldn’t find her. The next day (Saturday, September 10th), Kenneka’s mom was given the run around as she tried to file a missing persons report. The hotel would not release the security footage until she filed a police report and in order to file a police report, a certain amount of time has to pass. After finally getting a missing person’s report, Kenneka's body was found by police in the hotel’s freezer 1AM Sunday.
Now, the surveillance video of Kenneka inside the hotel has been released to the public. In the clips, you see what is said to be Kenneka stumbling through the hotel, getting on and off the elevator. In the last clip, she is seen stumbling through the hotel kitchen at 3:32AM and that was the last time she was seen before her body was found.
Check it:
According to CNN, police have 36 hours of surveillance video from that weekend and have publicly released all clips in which Jenkins can be seen.
It seems the videos are raising even more suspicion as people pick apart every detail in each clip. Some folks are saying it’s not the same girl in the video as her body structure looks different. Others are saying the videos have been edited where other people where erased out of the clips.
As of now, Kenneka's autopsy results by the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office are still pending. By the way, Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel has offered to pay for Kenneka's funeral arrangements.
