A 19-year-old West Side woman was found dead in a walk-in freezer at a Rosemont hotel where she had gone for a party with friends and had been missing for a day, her family said Sunday.

Kenneka Jenkins was pronounced dead at 12:48 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Jenkins, of the 2100 block of West Warren Boulevard, had gone to a party Friday night with friends in a hotel room at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, according to her mother, Tereasa Martin.

Martin said police told her Jenkins apparently let herself into the freezer while inebriated and died inside. An autopsy was expected to be performed Sunday, said Becky Schlikerman, spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office. It wasn't immediately clear whether foul play was suspected in Jenkins' death.


Martin said her daughter's friends called her after 4 a.m. Saturday to say they were in the car Martin had lent her daughter for the night, and they had Jenkins' cellphone. But they said they had lost track of Jenkins in the hotel and left after they were unable to find her.

Martin said she immediately headed to the hotel early Saturday morning to try to find her daughter. But she said it was early Sunday morning before Rosemont police told her Jenkins' body had been found inside a walk-in freezer in the hotel that was turned on and cold but was not being used to store food.

Speaking to reporters outside the hotel Sunday morning, Martin said she was having trouble understanding what had happened.

First, how would she get access to the freezer area at the hotel?

Second, Isnt there a handle to open the door from the insider of the freezer to prevent this?

Third, this sounds fishy. This doesnt sound like an accidental suicide but rather a homicide.

How would she even get back into the kitchen without anyone noticing? And those walk in freezer doors can be heavy, she looks like she was a small girl I'm trying to imagine her getting it open while intoxicated. Most have alarms that go off if the door is propped open too long or people are messing with the door handle. What a strange story, I suspect foul play.

Surely hotel surveillance should be able to shed some light on how this happened...

They were driving the car Kenneka's mother let her borrow for the night home.... I can understand them having her keys because I've taken my friend's while they were drunk but why would they have her cellphone? Seems like the set her up with no way to get home or way to call for help if she manager to escape the freezer. Things that make you say hmmmm.

Ok this article says she was last seen leaving her house 11:30 p.m. Friday night this article the sister says she received a text message at 1:30am Saturday. The OP's article says her friends got in touch with her mother after 4am on Saturday. Kenneka was reported missing 1:16 p.m. Saturday and was found 12:48 a.m. Sunday

From this page
Surrounded by family and friends, Leonore Harris listens to a Facebook live video that she believes pertains to the death of her sister, Kenneka Jenkins
there is a FB live video somewhere. I don't have a FB account anymore to go and look

@Tiara please link your source I would like to have a look at it.

EDIT: I think @BabysScorpio is talking about the video

WOW. I really wouldn't be surprised. I went on the facebook page a font linked above and the girls in picture were ugly as hayle. As shallow as this sounds I wouldn't be surprised if they did set that poor baby up. She was very beautiful. Ugh. Jealous, ugly bi*ches.

FB is going in on one of her friends and calling her a murderer. Her FB name is Monifah Shelton.
Monifah Shelton

I read a lot of comments on that page sounds like foul play the girl was most likely raped, and then killed i just don't know how the hotel doesn't have a camera or no one saw anybody.

This story sounds fishy....if me and my friends came to a party together there is no way we are not looking out for each other...you hadnt seen this girl all night but it didnt dawn on you until the end of the night to give AF? And why did she not have her phone on her? And some kitchen freezers do not have a handle from the inside which is why when I worked in a restuarant I kept my phone on me when I had to go in the freezer....I hated having to go in there though!

I just read the comment about her friend setting her up! I hope not....people are so heartless and cruel!

According to Facebook & twitter posts, her friend sold her for $200 to have her killed.

If you go through the comments on the friend's facebook, they're crazy and seem to tell the awful story. There's even a screncap from her live video where you can see what looks like the victim with a dack in her mouth in the reflection of the girl's sunglasses.

Sick and the police need to do their job and get her family some justice.

There's no way they were her friends. How you take her phone and car and don't take her! there's no way I would leave my friend instead I would panic and call the police.

Many young people today are troubled that's why I stay to myself. I would hate to have children and for them to learn the hard way like this; that some people ain't worth sh!t.

I would also like to add to many young people today like to drink to the point of malfunction. I have co-workers who won't even show up to work because the night before they got "wasted". I just don't understand the high consumption of alcohol in young people.

This is some fuckery!! So her so called "friend" sold her to be killed for $200? What the fµck! I am disgusted. Money is that powerful, huh? To be willing to murder your own friend for it? Nah. This is why I do not fµck!ng trust no one! That poor girl. This makes me so angry that a human's LIFE was taken away for this petty sh!t. My God.

So her 'friends' lost track of her at the hotel, got in her mother's car and had her cell phone yet they didn't call the police? Either her friends ditched her while she was drunk or they had something to do with it. They don't sound like real friends. Their actions are shady and sneaky. I hope the hotel has security cameras so they can find out what happened to her. Hopefully her family can get closure.

This is a good example of why people should be careful who they hang around.

WTF?! Nothing about this story make sense.

R.I.P. to the victim.

They need to find who did this to her. There is no way she would walk in a freezer or why even be near the kitchen area. Question is if she was partying with her friends, why was she apart from them...unless one of them did it.

What an awful way to die! It sounds like they encouraged her to go in there or forced her in and then left. Was this some kind of prank? All for $200? Even if the intention was not murder, they deserve to be tried for the crime.

OMG yea, in that video you can definitely hear someone crying or something if you listen very closely. This is so messed up and I hope they rot for what they did to that poor girl. You have to be very careful of the people that you hang around. Just looking at the Monifah girls fb page she looks guilty as hell. She's excessively making posts and posting pictures to make it look like she gives a fµck.

A 19-year-old West Side woman was found dead in a walk-in freezer at a Rosemont hotel where she had gone for a party with friends and had been missing for a day, her family said Sunday.

Kenneka Jenkins was pronounced dead at 12:48 a.m. Sunday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Jenkins, of the 2100 block of West Warren Boulevard, had gone to a party Friday night with friends in a hotel room at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, according to her mother, Tereasa Martin.

Family: Chicago teen found dead in Rosemont hotel freezer

Her friends ain't sh!t first of all. WTH is with these flakey friends who don't even look for their girls when they lose track of them. I lost track of a friend at a house party and I tracked her down before a dude took her in back. Don't just leave your girl floating in the wind, ya'll came together you leave together.

Two I suspect foul play. How would a resident have access to a walk in freezer which would be near or in the kitchen, two there's usually handles in side to prevent getting locked in. Also security footage. Not only that her friends not only had the keys to her mom's car but had her phone too...things that make you go hmmm. I pray her mom gets answers.

Your friend goes missing so you take her car and her cellphone? Instead of staying at the hotel and calling for help? I really hope they're arrested soon.
