On Tuesday morning, a Florida Uber driver who is a trainee policeman shot and killed a man who mistakenly thought his girlfriend was in the back of the Uber and forced the Uber driver to a stop, then approached the Uber driver, shouting, “I’ve got a pistol. Do you want me to shoot you?”’
The Uber driver, Robert Westlake, 37, had a dashcam in his vehicle that taped his exchange with Jason Boek, 34. According to The Daily Mail, Boek had fought with his girlfriend. He was allegedly watching her at a bar when he saw Westlake’s Uber arrive to pick up a woman that he thought was Boek’s girlfriend. He then allegedly texted his girlfriend, who unbeknownst to him was still at the bar, that he wanted to “f*** up the Uber driver.”
