A North Carolina Uber driver was shot multiple times before driving away and calling 911, at which point a juvenile passenger in the car took his wallet and fled.
A preliminary investigation found the Uber driver was giving a ride to a juvenile passenger, who was in the back seat. Antwain Turner then allegedly approached the driver, 38, who police believe shot the driver twice before he was able to drive away from the scene and call 911.
As the driver suffered from his wounds and called for help, the juvenile passenger in the back seat took the driver’s wallet and left, police told the Queens City News.HOUSTON ARMED ROBBERY SUSPECT SHOT DEAD BY ARMED CUSTOMER, POLICE LOOKING TO QUESTION SHOOTER Uber said they are committed to the safety of drivers and have since removed the rider from the platform.
