UPDATE: The Texas cheerleader who was shot overnight after a friend mistakenly got into the wrong vehicle in a supermarket parking lot is now recovering in the ICU, her father says.
The Texas cheerleader who was shot after a friend mistakenly got into the wrong car in a supermarket parking lot is now recovering in the ICU, her father said in an interview Wednesday. The star athlete, born with just one lung, is described by her dad as"tough as they come."
Payton’s father said doctors removed Payton’s spleen and she’s now stable in the ICU at Dell Seton Medical Center at The University of Texas in Austin. Suspect Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr, 25, was taken into custody and charged with deadly conduct. The investigation is still ongoing, police said. A prayer organized by Woodlands Elite was held Tuesday. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page organized by the Woodlands Elite Generals to help raise money to cover her hospital costs had raised more than $71,000 as of Wednesday.
“She gravitated towards watching cheer and tumbling and just felt like she had to do it. She had to get over there and learn how to execute that stuff. She really had to learn how to throw all those moves she can as a left hander. And she did it on her own,” Washington said.
