Pharrell Williams has always felt brotherly concern for Terry Kennedy, his good friend and the captain of his Ice Cream skateboarding team, but the famed producer never thought it would be like this. On Saturday, Kennedy was shot twice, once in the forearm and once in the jaw, after leaving a party in Long Beach, California.
The 19-year-old said he was about to get into his vehicle when a man standing several feet away opened fire. “I seen it when it happened, the whole thing,” Kennedy said. “I seen a (brother) shooting, and I swear it was like The Matrix. I seen the bullets flying though the air, then hit me in the jaw. What got me mad was the (brother) was shooting from far away. I’m like, ‘This (brother) is not no police officer, don’t nobody have that much aim to hit me dead in the jaw.’ “
