“We’re devastated by this senseless act of violence.”

What do they think about sensible acts of violence?

Wait. He was shot three times a .45, and was able to drive to a store, and still had to charge his phone to call for help? And then still drive away again?

Some elected government officials are above the law. We will have to wait and see.

He must have had more food to deliver before he went to the hospital.

Did the people who ordered the food ever get their food delivered?

The "my phone is out of juice" is a red flag, an old and well-known scam to gain entry to a home. Good time to call 9-1-1, rather than try to gun down someone who is btw going to have a fishbowl put in his hospital room to hold all the biz cards of ambulance chasers.

“as the victim tried to leave and was inside his car.

Kinda not really the time to shoot somebody in self-defense in NYS.

In a tertiary way, companies like Door Dash share part of the blame, when one of their hires gets shot in this manner.
The company is partly at fault for hiring people who cannot or only barely speak English.

Such people are inadvertently being ‘set up’ to fail, sometimes in a very dangerous way.
For many people, brand new to this country, Door Dash provides an opportunity to earn some quick cash. They mostly need to learn how to drive while at same time glancing at their GPS, something that was illegal not long ago. But many of these drivers are still learned the very basics of our language. Or when they do speak English, it is so heavily accented, most Americans could never understand what the driver is saying.

New immigrants, or anyone who likes a lot of driving will find these jobs easy to get, but usually very low paying.
But sometimes, there is a Perfect Storm of events and appearances, that will make a Homeowner feel in danger.
You know the old saying: “Better to be judged by 12, vs being carried by 6!”

It seems to be dangerous work with a lot of them getting shot or shot at.

It takes a real dangerous psycho nut to start shooting to kill people for having an accent or ringing their doorbell, or pulling into their driveway.

A Nut, or somebody now paranoid, because of past negative experiences.

Yes, that caught my eye, too. If the news story is correct and he really did shoot the poor hapless guy — in the back! — after he had already got in his car and was trying to leave, then he’s worse than trigger happy.

“””In a tertiary way, companies like Door Dash share part of the blame, when one of their hires gets shot in this manner.

Another thing that people should be concerned about Door Dash employees is that folks on probation or parole are regularly employed by Door Dash.

If shooter is a Demonrat, he will be exonerated. If not, shooter will be imprisoned.

LOL, paranoid nuts shooting and killing people on their porches and in their driveways for no reason are just psycho nuts, paranoids as you say, there is no justification for it.

“...The victim’s family says he came to New York six months ago from West Africa and worked for DoorDash about a month. They say he speaks French...”

Looks like a hate crime to me. Since the shooter is white and the victim is black, this will be all over the news. If it were the reverse, no one would care.
