Zhyon Stewart, a 20-year-old from Rochester, N.Y. poses for a portrait with his 1-year-old son, Zhyon Jr. at their home on Nov. 13, 2021. Zhyon was shot in the chest on June 23, 2021, after he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting. “It was stressful, honestly, because it’s like ‘Why did I get shot? Why me? Why do I have to deal with this pain?’…I couldn’t even hold my son for two months,” said Stewart. No suspects have been put in custody for the incident.
