Gunman Caught On Camera Shooting Taxi Driver Five Times

A disturbing video of a hooded gunman shows him pointing his weapon at a taxi driver before shooting him.

Police say that an unidentified goateed man jumped into a cab during the early hours Sunday and threatened driver Raphael Martinez, 54, in his cab around 5:10am when the driver did not understand his demands. The attack was captured on security cameras inside the vehicle.

The gunman reportedly fired at the cab driver--a married father of three--five times. Police say the incident happened at White Plains Road and Lafayette Avenue.

"My brother was saying, ‘Wait! I don’t understand you!' and [the perp] just started shooting," the victim's brother Julian Martinez said. "[The gunman] didn’t give him time. He just shot him. All he had was $8.'

Manny Lopez, a dispatcher at DAT, the livery service where the victim works, said the driver had called for help via his radio after the shooting.
