A shooter is still at large after a ride-share driver says he was shot in the back by a passenger in West Philadelphia last week.
The 50-year-old driver, who asked for his identity to be concealed, says he was shot in the back after he picked up a man and woman.
"I was trying to do 28 trips that night to get the 100 trips I had to do to get my bonus for four days of the week," he explained. "So that was exactly trip 26 for the night." Things took a turn after he dropped the woman off at one location, then continued onto 63rd and Cobbs Creek to drop off the man.
"I heard a funny sound in the back like it sounds like someone is playing with a gun like they clicked it our something," he said."I heard a loud bang and my arm went limp and stuck outside the side of the window, just shaking like that," he said. "And I'm screaming you shot me, you shot me and then all he said was you shot? Then jumped out the car while the car was moving.
