Mariah Victoria Dixon had gone out to a Juneteenth celebration with friends to take her mind off of missing her late dad on Father’s Day. It was her first time attending the event and everything seemed normal – until it wasn’t.
"When I first arrived in the hospital, the bullet was still in my femur," Dixon said."They said it went through the side of my knee and it kind of jammed up through my femur bone and my patella is fractured. My femur is broken."“They were able to take the bullet out and they found out that I was shot with a .45 caliber. My next surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning and they're going to basically put a plate inside of knee," she said.
Police said Monday they have been investigating the shooting"nonstop" since it happened, but few details have been release. Police believe multiple weapons were fired during the incident, but the total number of suspects who opened fire into the crowd remains unclear.they are still processing ballistic evidence, as well as other evidence from the scene. They're also looking for additional witnesses and potential victims.
"The interviews of known witnesses and victims continues, and we are trying to locate additional witnesses and victims who may not have sought medical attention for their injuries," police said."I know that it was a very traumatic experience for everyone because I can barely close my eyes without hearing the shots in my head," she said."I can barely go to sleep. I can't move my leg.
