77-Year-Old Nigerian Uber Driver, Olatunji Bolaji, Shot Dead In US (43883 Views)

A 77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver, Olatunji W. Bolaji, was killed in a shooting outside a hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.

Bolaji, who lived in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was on duty around 2 a.m. on Wednesday when he picked up a enger, a 22-year-old man, outside the Byblos Hookah Bar near Rittenhouse Square in Centre City, CBS reports on Friday.

Police said shortly after Bolaji picked up the young man, another vehicle pulled up behind his SUV, and two men got out.

One of them opened fire, shooting both Bolaji and the enger.

Despite being shot in the head, Bolaji managed to drive a short distance before crashing into a pole at 17th and Chestnut Streets.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His enger, who sustained gunshot wounds to the arm, leg, and stomach, was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.

Police say the shooting was captured on surveillance cameras, and the attackers were in a black Jeep Grand Cherokee believed to have Massachusetts number plates.

Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind the attack. Investigators believe there may have been a physical altercation between the enger and the suspects before the shooting.

Poor guy. Too old to be doing such work.

But no handouts in developed world. Very cold and harsh.

He probably mistakenly picked a gangster.

Terrible! Normally at that age, he is supposed to be retired with a comfortable pension. Relaxing and enjoying family and nature till his peaceful resting day. Rip grandpa!

Damn

A system that keeps you perpetually chained in debt so deep you still gotta hustle your meals at 77.

Cheers to the American dream
