Homeless man won't "snitch" on who shot him

From Sara Shepherd:

A bystander called police after hearing a gunshot and seeing a man limping out of a Northeast area carwash stall Thursday afternoon.

When officers arrived, according to their report, the victim said he had been shot in the knee but refused to say who shot him or why.

“I ain’t no snitch,” he told them.

The shooting happened shortly before 2 p.m. at 5700 Independence Ave. An ambulance took the victim, a 36-year-old homeless man, to a hospital. His injury was not life-threatening. The witness described the suspects’ car to police, but the victim said he did not want to prosecute.

I think he got shot trying to get a free bee off of a hooker.

Sounds like he owes someone money and doesn't want to make the situation any worse.
