MILWAUKEE — A beloved Milwaukee-area assistant pastor was shot several times amid a carjacking while he was driving for Uber overnight on Oct. 9, according to our partners at 620 WTMJ.

WTMJ says Assistant Pastor Kevin Simmons was injured in the incident on the 5500 block of W. Custer Ave. around 2:40 a.m. It was believed Simmons was driving for Uber when a suspect attempted to carjack him, shooting him multiple times.

The suspect is yet to be arrested.
