Jacob Blake has been discharged from a hospital in Wisconsin and is now undergoing treatment at an Illinois rehabilitation clinic.
Blake was left paralyzed after a Kenosha police officer shot the 29-year-old Black man in the back in August.
Blake’s uncle Justin Blake told The Associated Press that his nephew was discharged “about a week ago.” He declined to say where Jacob Blake was being treated, citing threats to the Blake family since the shooting.
