She told the court that she was passing through Sixth Street when she heard gunshots. “Next thing I know, I stopped moving. I just fell to the ground,” Salazar said. “It went through my whole right leg.” Police body camera footage showed her screaming in pain moments after being shot. Salazar’s femur shattered, and it took eight months before she could walk again.
