Gm Gm !! Some may know, some may not my son Raheim Jeter was involved in a road rage incident on Friday 2/18/2022. He was shot in his left leg and will be having surgery soon, I’m asking that everybody keep us in your prayers. I can’t say much about the incident because I don’t know everything, but I will say my God is awesome! Thanks to everyone who reached out and continue to pray for him.

According to Chris Anderson at EerSports.com, Eersports checked records in the area where Jeter lives and came across an incident report matching the time and description.

EerSports checked records in and around Spartanburg and came across an incident that matched the timing and description of what Hughes reported.
