Cab Driver Found Shot in Taxi

A family is mourning the loss of a 39-year-old man who was found shot dead in his cab last weekend.

According to the sheriff's department in San Diego, California, officers were alerted to a rollover crash early Sunday morning. After pulling the man's body from the wreckage, they located a bullet wound to his chest. Based on evidence collected at the scene, officers were able to arrest a suspect a few days later. The 19-year-old suspect was arrested on Wednesday on one count of homicide.

At this time, it is uncertain as to what sparked the gunshot. It is known that the cab driver was an immigrant from Afghanistan. Additional details about the violent crime are being withheld until the investigation has been completed.
