Ke’yari Redding remains hospitalized
A 5-year-old Milwaukee girl who police say was shot by her uncle on July 24 is improving.
Police said Ke'yari Redding was asleep on the couch when a bullet came through the house and struck her in the chest and spine.
Her mother told WISN 12 News on Tuesday night that Ke'yari is off the ventilator and is breathing on her own.
She is in a wheelchair, and it's uncertain if she will be able to walk again.
A GoFundMe page was set up to help Ke’yari on the long and expensive road to recovery.
John Jackson, the 29-year-old Milwaukee man accused of shooting his 5-year-old niece, is in jail on a $150,000 bond.
He appeared in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.
