Bobby Gayle Jr., a California resident, is relying on his friends, family and faith after he was shot seven times in what police are investigating as a possible hate crime.A part of the violence that Friday night was captured in surveillance footage obtained by sister station KCRA. Bobby, a cement mason, was preparing to do some work with a friend when a driver going backward almost hit them, Bobby's brother Marlon Gayle said."My brother threw his hands up, was like, 'Hey, man, slow down. What's going on, like slow down,'" Marlon said, "And the guy got out his truck, parked his truck, got out, and he started saying the N-word and just started shooting."Bobby was seen on the right of the video holding his hands up as a gunman on the left shoots. Marlon said two of the shots hit Bobby in his face. Even though he was injured in the shooting, Bobby managed to call for his brother, Marlon recalled and played a voicemail that said, "Marlon, I've been shot. Pray for me. I swear to God. Please. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah."Sirens could be heard in the background of the voicemail. Bobby was also able to call 911 for help. Despite the gunman shouting racial comments, the family has held firm on their beliefs, using that as a source of strength while Bobby recovers."We believe in love. We believe in forgiveness, but at the same time, white supremacy, hatred, bigotry, and all of that – we stand against that," Marlon said. Police said Bobby, 45, is expected to survive his injuries. Even though Bobby was hit several times, Marlon said none of the bullets pierced any major arteries.The department is asking the public's help in finding the man, pictured in the surveillance footage. "We take these types of crimes very seriously and so we're investigating it to the fullest. We have some detectives assigned to it, as well as an officer that's assigned to the FBI task force," assistant police Chief Jim Chraska said.Watch the video above for the full story.
