Singer Jeff Becerra was tragically left paralyzed from the waist down after he was shot in 1989 by two robbers after he went out to purchase a pack of cigarettes, the music outlet Loudwire reported.
‘We scuffled, there was no way out of it and I ended up getting shot a couple of times – the first guy pushed a 9-millimeter to my chest. It broke through the ribs and shattered the lungs and stuck on in the spine, so I still have a 9-millimeter slug stuck on the vertebrate T3,’ Becerra told The Underground Metal Gamer in 2019, according to Blabbermouth.
