54 year old Orji Ama Uro from Ekoli Edda, Ebonyi State, was brutally
stabbed in the eye with an umbrella after dropping off two people, a man
and a woman, in Brooklyn around 5pm on Thursday June 13th. The point of
the umbrella pierced Ama Uro's brain, killing him.
Eye witnesses told police that the man and woman came down from the cab
on Thomas S. Boyland St. in Brownsville and immediately started arguing
with the cab driver. The man, believed to be in his 20s, then stabbed
Uro in the right eye with an umbrella, piercing his brain. Continue...
Uro lost control of his vehicle, drove onto the sidewalk, and crashed
into two parked vehicles. (pictured above). He managed to get out of his
car then collapsed. He was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was
pronounced dead.
His killer and his companion are yet to be arrested, though a $5,000
reward has been offered for any information leading to the suspects’
arrest.
Uro was not robbed as his wallet and cellphone were found in his cab.
He relocated to the US 10 years ago and recently brought his children to
the US to live with him. (Two of his daughters pictured with him
above). His wife lives in Aba, Abia state.
