(Reuters) - An UberEATS driver was
on the run Monday after a man who ordered a meal from the online food
delivery service was killed in a late night shooting in Atlanta over the
weekend, police told local media.
The 30-year-old man was shot multiple times after exchanging words with
the driver in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m.
Saturday, police told Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA, channel 11.
The UberEats driver then fled in his vehicle and the wounded man died at
a local hospital, police told local media.
"We are shocked and saddened by this news," an Uber representative told
the news station.
