A survivor of gun violence working with Good at Urban Grief was denied victim compensation after being deemed uncooperative by law enforcement, despite the survivor's willingness to speak with police. The denial occurred after police attempted to question the survivor in the hospital immediately following surgery, and the officers failed to follow through on a scheduled appointment to meet with the survivor later.
