Cops Seek 'Person Of Interest' In NYC Uber Driver's Killing

THE BRONX, NY — Police say they're searching for a person of interest in Saturday's fatal stabbing of a Bronx Uber driver. A drivers group is also offering a reward for information in the case.

Cops found Ganiou Gandonou in a black Toyota Camry with stab wounds to his torso and neck on Hutchinson River Parkway East near Einstein Loop North in the Baychester neighborhood around 9:10 p.m. Saturday, the NYPD said.

Gandonou, 27, was taken to Jacobi Hospital and succumbed to his injuries there, police said. No arrests have been made, but police released video on Sunday of a man whom they say is wanted for questioning in the case.

The man in the footage fled the scene west on Bartow Avenue and was last seen heading north on Co-Op City Boulevard, the NYPD said. He's described as wearing all dark-colored clothing.

The Independent Drivers Guild, a labor group for app-based drivers, is offering a $3,000 reward to anyone who can give information leading to the killer's arrest.

"We are horrified by the death of our fellow for-hire vehicle driver Ganiou Gandonou and our thoughts go out to his loved ones," the guild said in a statement Sunday. "We must continue to do more to protect the safety of for-hire drivers."

Anyone with information about the man's identity can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-8477 or 1-888-577-4782 to leave a tip in Spanish. New Yorkers can also text tips to 274637 or submit them online at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
