Jacob Blake has been moved to a spinal rehabilitation center from a Milwaukee hospital, his attorney, Patrick Cafferty, confirmed to CBS News. Blake, 29, was shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police officer Rusten Sheskey on August 23.

Cafferty said the 29-year-old "is in a spinal injury rehabilitation center in Chicago," and that he was unable to provide more details, including what day Blake left the hospital or how long he will remain in the rehabilitation center.

The bullets from the shooting damaged Blake's stomach, kidney, liver, colon and small intestine, his attorney, Patrick Salvi, said last month. After Blake was transported to the hospital, his legal counsel said he was paralyzed from the waist down.

Blake's shooting is still being investigated by the Wisconsin Department of Justice.
