A pro skateboarder has been reportedly charged with murder after a Wheaton man died over the weekend.
36-year-old Terry Kennedy allegedly punched 23-year-old Josiah Kassahun in the head on July 27. Kassahuh died Saturday of blunt force injuries to his head, according to the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Kennedy is a star in the skateboarding world and appeared in the popular “Skate” video games.
Kennedy has been charged with first murder. Following the alleged assault, he was initially charged with several other felonies — including aggravated battery and theft.
Reports say that a day after the alleged attack, Kennedy was charged with threatening a public official. It was reported that he allegedly threatened to kill two Wheaton police officers.
