Kenney was fatally wounded by a knife that was attached to something he was wearing around his neck, sources told NewsCenter 5.
Kenney is survived by his wife and young twin children, according to his father.
Kenney's death remains under investigation by State Police detectives with the district attorney's office and Saugus police detectives.
It occurred 10 days after a brawl broke out inside Kowloon the night before Thanksgiving. Four people have been charged in connection with that fight.
