Lyft driver speaks after being shot, paralyzed on West Side
CHICAGO (WBBM) — A rideshare driver just doing his job was shot when he was sent to pick up a fare.
He is now confined to a wheelchair, and he is trying to pick up the pieces of his life and move forward.
As CBS 2’s Suzanne Le Mignot reported Tuesday, Marcus Kelley says he was sad for the first week after a bullet claimed his ability to walk. But he said his family and friends are helping him adjust to this new chapter in his life.
It was here on Feb. 27 at the intersection of Jackson Boulevard and Springfield Avenue in the West Garfield Park neighborhood that Kelley’s life would change forever.
