Jesse Simmons' kidney and spine were damaged in the shooting causing him to be paralyzed below the knees.Simmons' Ring camera captured the moments before he nearly lost his life. A man walked through his yard at 5:30 Thursday morning while Simmons was getting ready for a Greater East Dallas Chamber of Commerce board meeting."Can I help you? Can I help you?" Simmons can be heard saying in the video."He was shot the bullet went through his kidney, it went through his liver and through his spine," said Dr. Chuck Kobdish, Simmons' longtime friend."He is doing everything he can to make East Dallas a better place for all of us.
"If you take a look at his client base, everybody in East Dallas knows him. When he started out he would drive all over town to take care of folks. As he was networking and building his business here in East Dallas the need to travel became smaller and smaller and smaller. He probably services every house in 5 square miles of this spot right here," he said.
Police say the shooter was checking for unlocked vehicles when Simmons confronted him at his work truck.Now, Kobdish wants whoever did this or knows who did this to come forward.Featured
