Neiana Allen-Bailey, 18, is accused of killing Washington Uber driver Amare Geda.
A Seattle teen is accused of shooting an Uber driver point-blank, then taking off in his car and driving it to visit her family, get her hair done and smoke weed on the beach.
Allen-Bailey was not a rideshare customer, police said, but instead randomly approached and shot the driver. Police in South Lake Union reached out when they found the car parked on a street closed due to a street fair, KOMO reported, and Seattle police arrived at the scene and arrested the teen when she returned to the car. Initially, she allegedly told police she’d purchased the vehicle on the “Offer Up” app.
Although Allen-Bailey didn’t show up for her court hearing, Geda’s family packed the courtroom, per KOMO. The writer of a GoFundMe campaign for Geda’s family, which has raised over $70,000, wrote that the driver was “his family’s rock.”
