CHICAGO â Joe Starnes canât hold a cup of coffee in his right hand. He canât hold much of anything.
Itâs been five months since Starnesâ right arm was damaged when someone pulled up next to him late one summer night and fired about 14 bullets into his SUV as he was driving home on the Dan Ryan Expressway.
âWhen you get shot, your whole life is changed,â Starnes said. âEverything is different.â
The shooting was one of 128 that happened on Chicago-area expressways in 2020 â an unprecedented spike that left a trail of grieving loved ones and traumatized victims like Starnes who now wonder what is being done about the disturbing trend.
