A Kamloops pizzeria is running a month-long fundraiser in hopes of raising enough money so assault victim Jessie Simpson can go home.
Jesse Simpson was 18 years old on June 19, 2016, when he was walking home from a graduation party. He was looking for a friend’s address when he approached the wrong house and was assaulted by Kristopher Teichrieb. Teichrieb struck Simpson on the head with an aluminum baseball bat multiple times, leaving Simpson in a coma.
