posted (July 11, 2012)
Last night, we gave you an update on 35 year-old Marty Goff, the Kee's Bakery deliveryman who was shot in an attempt to rob him of the proceeds of his company's sales.

Well today, 7News caught up with his family and they told us that he remains unconscious after his surgery to treat the gunshot wound.

According to the police he had been shot in the face, but the family told us today, that he was shot in the chest, and he suffered a minor injury to the face - most likely from the fall after being shot.

Here's what his mother told us this evening:

Helena Goff - Mother of Shooting Victim
"So, far, he's in the Karl Heusner Memorial Hospital, in the ICU, recuperating from the gunshot."

Daniel Ortiz
"Can you tell us where exactly he was hit?"

Helena Goff
"In in the side of his chest."

Daniel Ortiz
"Tell us about the operation and the last time you guys say him conscious."

Helena Goff
"Well, the last time I saw him conscious was sometime in the afternoon before the shooting, when he came home, and he went to finish his rounds. A little while after that, my daughter called me and told me that he was shot. We don't have any confirmed location as to where the injury happened, but just that I know that it's in the left side of his chest. He had surgery to repair some arteries, and he is still sleeping from the sedation. He keeps to himself, and he doesn't go anywhere much. When he does go anywhere, it's him and his entire family, either to the park, or to the Princess."

Daniel Ortiz
"So, he's a family man."

Helena Goff
"Apart from that, he is a family man."

Goff is the father of 2 children. He just recently got married, and a week ago, he celebrated his 35th birthday.
