A 37-year-old Dallas artist is recovering at a hospital after family members said he was shot while jogging along the Santa Fe Trail in Old East Dallas.
Family of Antonio Lechuga said he was finishing a five-mile run when, all of a sudden, he was shot twice in the chest area.
"It’s sad because now his normal is not normal anymore, you know?" Cynthia Lechuga said. "It just doesn’t make you feel safe anywhere."Lechuga, who’s recovering in a hospital after multiple surgeries, told family members he barely heard the shots since he was wearing headphones. He did not see a shooter.
Patty Rodriguez, whose family lives in the area, saw the shooting. She said she told police the shots came from the front-passenger’s side of a car.
