After 1-year-old A-mara Hall was shot last month, many people sprung into action — first responders, surgeons and, finally, violence recovery specialists, who help victims of violence and their families.
Michael Johnson, working in the University of Chicago Medicine’s Violence Recovery Program, was there to console the family of A-mara, who was shot Feb. 19, while in a car northbound on I-57. Her father, Nasir Hall, 19, and William Smith, 13, also were shot, and pronounced dead at the scene.
