I am creating this on behalf of my brother, who was assaulted on October 18th in Memphis. What should have been a routine accident report and swapping insurance turned into our families worst nightmare.

For 5 hours I called every hospital, 201, etc, to try and find my brother. Southaven PD showed up to our house at 10pm and told us he had been assaulted and was at Regional One.

My brother rear ended someone in Memphis and instead of swapping insurance information, they decided to brutally assault my brother and leave him for dead in the street. Thankfully by the grace of God someone found him and called 911.

He is alive with a displaced skull fracture, crushed naval cavity, right eye socket fracture and many bruises and sore bones/muscles.

Because of some inhumane animals, which is exactly what they are wanted to have a little fun. My brother’s life is turned upside down. His car is totaled, they stole his phone, he’s out of work for several weeks/months and had to have surgery to fix the damage these cowards caused. The surgery alone is a 2-3 week recovery.

Because of him being unable to work we are doing everything we can on our end to help get things handled and bills paid because life does not stop when something like this happens.

We can not thank those enough who have already helped and offered kind words and prayers. We are just so grateful my brother is still alive and on the side of healing after this nightmare.
