Wilmont Hendricks shot
An ambulance attended Hendricks, whose injury was sufficiently serious for him to be taken to the hospital. While the hospital recorded his wound as being in his left shoulder, only the list of injured in the Home News echoed that report, with the lists in the New York American, New York Post, Atlanta World, Afro-American, and Norfolk Journal and Gazette instead locating the gunshot in his chest, and the lists in the New York Daily News, New York Evening Journal, and story in the New York Times reporting it was in in his back.
The hospital record did not identify Hendricks' race, but the newspaper lists in the New York Post, Home News, New York American and New York Evening Journal did. Three of the five other men shot and wounded in the disorder were black, one of unknown race, and one white police officer.
No one was arrested for shooting Hendricks, as was the case with all of those shot and wounded (Detective Campo’s alleged assailant was shot and killed).
