A 77-year-old Nigerian Uber driver, Olatunji W. Bolaji, was killed in a shooting outside a hookah lounge in Philadelphia, United States.

Bolaji, who lived in Norristown, Pennsylvania, was on duty around 2 a.m. on Wednesday when he picked up a passenger, a 22-year-old man, outside the Byblos Hookah Bar near Rittenhouse Square in Centre City, CBS reports on Friday.

Police said shortly after Bolaji picked up the young man, another vehicle pulled up behind his SUV, and two men got out.

One of them opened fire, shooting both Bolaji and the passenger.

Despite being shot in the head, Bolaji managed to drive a short distance before crashing into a pole at 17th and Chestnut Streets.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

His passenger, who sustained gunshot wounds to the arm, leg, and stomach, was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.

Police say the shooting was captured on surveillance cameras, and the attackers were in a black Jeep Grand Cherokee believed to have Massachusetts number plates.

Authorities are still trying to determine the motive behind the attack. Investigators believe there may have been a physical altercation between the passenger and the suspects before the shooting.

Gun does not kill unless weaponized by humans.

Cocaine does not kill unless ingested.

Poor guy. Too old to be doing such work.

But no handouts in developed world. Very cold and harsh.

He probably mistakenly picked a gangster.

Unless first processed then ingested

Rest in peace sir.
so sad.

Terrible! Normally at that age, he is supposed to be retired with a comfortable pension. Relaxing and enjoying family and nature till his peaceful resting day. Rip grandpa!

No rules in the game anymore!

Why gas the driver when he was clean

Even the Ops you tried to smoke did not die!

Wasted clips.

Dudes just be using switches and causing unnecessary casualties

Damn

A system that keeps you perpetually chained in debt so deep you still gotta hustle your meals at 77.

Cheers to the American dream

Oh man this is just too sad

Too terrible 😔

Rest in Peace Sir
