It was late on a December 2021 evening when Joshua Junior Carter was shot in the leg and torso. He collapsed in a Winston-Salem, N.C., field. He didn’t have a phone to call for help.
No one called 911 to report the gunfire at a time when killings in the city were near record highs, according to reports. So, Carter remained in the field, alone and bleeding.
