“I hope that he will be able to walk again”: Helena-West Helena 4-year-old shot this summer still hospitalized.
Mom asks for justice in the case and the public’s help in her son’s recovery
A 4-year-old Arkansas boy is still hospitalized after being shot this summer in Helena-West Helena, Arkansas.
Action News 5 first reported this story back in August.
Kylin Harris, Jr. was just three years old at the time when he and his mother, Makayla Hines along with another adult were shot inside a car on South Sebastian Road.
We just got an update from Kylin’s mother who says the now 4-year-old is doing better but is still unable to walk and confined to a wheelchair.
He is continuing to receive intensive rehabilitation treatment at a Chicago hospital.
His mother says they are still awaiting justice for the shooting.
“It has been very difficult. I just ask that everyone prays for my son and I really hope that the Helena-West Helena Police department does their job and get the suspect put away,” said Makayla Hines.
After nearly 2 months in Chicago, Hines hopes to be back in Helena-West Helena by Christmas.
However, she is hopeful to purchase a special bike that has been helpful in Kylin’s recovery, that she hopes her son can continue to use once he returns to Arkansas.
The bike costs just under $10,000.00.
