Driver shot 3 times INGLEWOOD, CA

I am still gathering the news but an African male gentleman was shot 3 times while picking up. This happened on Friday in the afternoon in Inglewood, CA. Driver was just doing regular rides, then gets a ping to pick a pax, pax shows up as well as armed guys. A scuffle ensues and driver gets shot 3 times. Driver survives but is due for a couple of surgeries. Strange thing is pax didn’t even call 911 after all that, pax just disappeared. A good samaritan called for help. Be careful out there guys.

Well it is INGLEWOOD...

I know Uber doesn't want us to turn down rides based on areas to not be inclusive or some crap, but there are zip codes in my city that are auto decline. 90% of our violent crime is in two zip codes, they venture out of their own neighborhoods to commit property crimes.

If only he had listened to more rap music. He would have known where not to go.

"Clip in the strap, dippin' through 'hoods (What 'hoods?) Compton, Long Beach, Inglewood!"

Doesn't surprise me that it was in California let alone Inglewood.

I hope he recovers well.

For all we know he could've been targeted for something he did. Pax may have recognized nixed the driver and they finished their fight.

I almost got hit by a drifting car in Inglewood during a street takeover. The drifting charger drifted into a street lamp and then missed me by a few inches. I Gtfoutta there but came back to see a buncha banged up cars.
