| Earlier this month we reported on a shooting that happened on West Canal between Berkley Street and Rocky Road. It involved 26-year-old Jamie Chavarria - who was shot while exiting his vehicle. Chavarria survived the attack but was shot twice - once on his left arm and another to the left side of his chest. Today Chavarria told 7news he is trying to leave the country for surgery but his plans have been put on hold because police lost his passport:
Voice of: Jamie Chavarria
"I came to complain, because of the past 3 weeks I got shot and my girlfriend went back and forth to the police station to get my passport, because that was the only identification that she got for me when I got shot. But now for the past 3 weeks, the police have my girlfriend back and back to get the passport. Yesterday, she went to the station and asked for my passport and they called the officer who had the passport and he told the police that he already have my girlfriend the passport, but she never got the passport from him. So they told her to come back this morning at 6am. When she arrived there the officer had already went home. I want to know what is going on with the police department is they are holding my passport and don't want to give me, because that is something that I need. I need to go take a surgery in my back from the shot that I got. The police have my clothes that I got shot in and they haven't given it back. I would want the police explain to me what is going on, because it's like they are trying to play a game or something with me. A passport is a very important document."
No one has been charged for the shooting for Jamie Chavarria that happened on the 28th of February.
