“Once I started getting to the beginning of the procession, gun shots, boom, boom, boom,” he continued.

He also described the moment he got struck with the bullet.

“I took a deep breath just to see if it was in my chest, but it wasn’t. I didn’t feel no pain, so I maneuvered the car jumped out the car and I’m running down the middle of the street to all the other cars in the procession throwing my hands up like I need help.”
