Claude Motley shows the x-ray of his jaw after being shot in the face while visiting home in Milwaukee.
During the first three months of 2021, 232 people have been shot in the city of Milwaukee according to the Milwaukee Homicide Review Commission. If you look back over the last decade, this is the highest number in the first three months of a year that Milwaukee has seen. While deaths from gun violence are down about 25%, nonfatal shooting victims have risen almost 58% when compared to 2020.
A new documentary,
When Claude Got Shot, showing now at the Milwaukee Film Festival documents the wide ranging and damaging effects gun violence has on people across Milwaukee.
