The alley where Bradley was found on February 13, 2013 on the asphalt, wrapped in a fetal position, sits just half a mile to the east and a mile north from the closest exit from I-95. Bradley lay in a pool of blood,
his right eye lost, in a gritty parking space off an industrial alley in Riviera Beach, 65 miles up Interstate 95 to the north.
According to the police report, Bradley was
shot in the right temple and pleaded with the manager of an adjacent John Deere store who called 911. ?Tell them to hurry,? Bradley told the store manager. ?I?m gonna bleed out.?
Bradley has undergone multiple surgeries for facial reconstruction, suffers from extreme pain, and is ?substantially disabled,? according to the complaint.
Bradley
refused to identify his assailant when he was found in Riviera Beach or, later, at a West Palm Beach hospital. But he does in his civil action, blaming Hernandez. On Friday, Waks would not discuss why Bradley decided to name Hernandez in the complaint, which does not specify whether Bradley believes the gunshot was intentional or accidental.
The complaint states that Hernandez and Bradley were part of a group that spent the evening at Tootsie?s, and that the pair argued before they and two others began driving north toward Palm Beach.
