A California Marine Corps veteran and father of two was shot and killed while driving for Uber on Friday morning.

Aaron Orozco, 38, was driving for the rideshare company when he got into a “physical altercation” with two of his passengers at a 7-Eleven parking lot in Lynwood, according to Los Angeles police.

During the altercation, one of the suspects shot the veteran before fleeing the scene in the victim’s Honda Accord.

Police said the driver, later identified by family as Orozco, suffered a gunshot wound to the upper torso while the suspects remain at large as of early Sunday.

Nancy and Gavin cheer as Soros pays off more and more police commissioners, district attorneys, and judges promoting crime.

Uber said in a statement to Fox11. “We banned the rider’s account and are working with police on their investigation.”


Well they aren’t going to ride Uber any more at least.

“I just really hope that they find [the suspects] because … they created this chaos in my life, in my family’s life and now … I don’t have my husband with me and it’s just changed my life around, so I really hope that they do catch them,” Medina told ABC7.


Rereading this several times. It is a well written article , reminding me it could have been written 50 years ago.

Local reporting is different than national reporting. Surprised it is picked by national?

Sad situation......................................

That should send a harsh message. If you kill one of our
drivers your account could get banned.

On reflection, they had to say that to reassure the other drivers, it was not for us.

“ Description of the killers? “

I know. You have to read it just to make sure the marine wasn’t the perpetrator the way that headline reads.

1) No description of the perp. So?....Do we need to guess?

2) Uber and the police apparently have the name of the perp and haven’t released it? Why? Does the news source have the name and chose not to print it? Hm?

It is clearly an obama son if no description was provided.

Yeah that’s a pathetic response from Uber.

What’s next, a 1-star review?

“Showed up promptly but murdered driver. One star.”
