Texas Tragedy: White Man Fatally Shoots African Uber Driver, Family Demands Action From Rideshare

Rabi Ba wants Kane Roden, the 30-year-old charged with her uncle's murder, to understand the profound impact of his actions on their tight-knit West African community in North Richland Hills. Her uncle, 60-year-old Tahirou Diallo, was a pillar of support. "Why did you do it?" Ba lamented. Diallo, an Uber driver, was fatally shot on May 7 by Roden, who lived nearby and was reportedly intoxicated. The family calls for rideshare companies like Uber to enforce stronger passenger vetting processes to enhance driver safety and accountability. A GoFundMe aims to return Diallo’s body to Guinea.
