🚘🇲🇽🔫 Uber Passenger Shoots Driver Because She Thought He Was Trying to Kidnap Her to Mexico
This is no ordinary story, folks. We’re talking about a woman named Phoebe Copas, who killed an Uber driver named Daniel Piedra Garcia, a man who had only been on the job for three weeks. Copas claims she was afraid that Garcia was trying to take her to Mexico.
Here’s how it unfolded. Garcia was assigned to take her to a casino in El Paso. However, as they drove past a sign for Juarez, a nearby city in Mexico, Copas began to feel uneasy, suspecting she was being transported to Mexico.
As her fear escalated, Copas reached into her purse, pulled out a brown and silver gun, and shot Garcia in the head. Tragically, Garcia didn’t survive, and they ended up crashing into a barrier before stopping on U.S. Route 54. 🛣️🚔💥
The police charged her with murder after Garcia died in the hospital on June 21. A judge set her bail at a hefty $1.5 million. Her attorney, a man named Matthew James Kozik, hasn’t commented yet.
According to police, Copas was visiting from Kentucky and was on her way to meet her boyfriend at the casino. The route Garcia was taking was completely appropriate for the requested destination, and the location where Copas shot Garcia was not near any bridge or entry point into Mexico. 🚖💑🎰
Police wondered why she didn’t call 911 when she thought she was in danger but instead decided to shoot the driver. After she did, she took a picture of Garcia and sent it to her boyfriend before dialing 911. 👮♂️🤳📸
Uber is taking this situation very seriously, expressing horror at what occurred. They’re supporting the driver’s family and have been in contact with law enforcement.
Garcia began driving for Uber as he was trying to earn more money for his family, which includes his wife, Ana Piedra, and their 16-year-old nephew, Luis Barragán, who they’ve been raising since he was three months old. 👪🍼💰
His wife recalls he was in good spirits the day he left, and she had no idea he wouldn’t be coming back. When he didn’t return, she repeatedly called and texted him but received no reply. When news of an Uber driver getting shot began to circulate, they contacted the police. 📞😢📺
Garcia’s cousin, Didi Lopez, remembers him as a man who loved to make people laugh. She last saw him at her sister’s graduation party, creating fun by splashing water – literally. Even when he was teasing people, he was doing it to make them laugh. 🎓🎉💦
It’s not often you hear about an Uber driver being harmed on the job, but it does happen.
