Less
than two weeks after a Nigeria cab driver was shot dead in Washington
DC another one has been killed, this time in New York.
54 year old Orji Ama Uro from Ekoli Edda, Ebonyi State, was brutally stabbed in the eye with an umbrella after dropping off two people, a man and a woman, in Brooklyn around 5pm on Thursday June 13th. The point of the umbrella pierced Ama Uro's brain, killing him.
Eye witnesses told police that the man and woman came down from the cab on Thomas S. Boyland St. in Brownsville and immediately started arguing with the cab driver. The man, believed to be in his 20s, then stabbed Uro in the right eye with an umbrella, piercing his brain.

Uro
lost control of his vehicle, drove onto the sidewalk, and crashed into
two parked vehicles. (pictured above). He managed to get out of his car
then collapsed. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
His killer and his companion are yet to be arrested, though a $5,000 reward has been offered for any information leading to the suspects’ arrest.

Was he arguing with them while the car is moving or when he stopped or did he try to run when the umbrella pierced his brain? The picture above doesn't show the true story.
