posted (December 21, 2015)
24 year old Walter Juarez is still in bad shape at the KHMH after he was shot 3 times on Magazine Road on Friday morning. Juarez was waiting for a bus near the Matron Roberts Polyclinic when he was shot for no known reason. Today when we spoke to his uncle and neighbor off camera, they told us they are hoping that he recuperates soon so he can come back home.

Voice of: Neighbour
"Well they say he already come out from theater, so he cannot move his hands."

Courtney Weatherburne
"His wife was saying that he cannot sit up well."

Voice of: Neighbor
"Yes. He hands is messed up. He does not mess with anybody around here."

Voice of Father
"The family is devastated. He is my son."

His uncle told us that he will be hospitalized for another 3 months - maybe more. When we spoke to police today, they told us they have a number of city men detained but that they can't release any more details on the men.
