Another victim has been reported via the use of Uber after 26-year-old Jeffrey Cisnero Comacho was shot at least three times by a passenger. Police told New York Daily News that Jeffrey was picking up passengers Saturday morning at 12:45 AM when he picked up the suspect on Boston Road and Fish Ave in the Bronx.
After dropping the passenger off at Morrison Ave. near E. 174th St. in Soundview, the suspect pulled out a gun and shot Jeffrey before taking his wallet - with $23 - and jetting off. Jeffrey managed to stumble out of his car and wave down a passing police officer where he was transported to the Jacobi Medical Center, expected to survive the attack.
“He’s very lucky to be alive,” Fernando Mateo, the president of the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers, said. “We were at the hospital all morning. He’s got tubes going everywhere. Cops recovered three 9-mm shells and there are a lot of exit and entrance wounds.”
Police are offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who has information on the gunman.
