A livery cab driver is in critical condition after being shot multiple times by a passenger, who turned to shoot the driver after being dropped off in Ozone Park last night. Driver Trevor Bel, 53, was shot at 122nd Street near Sutter Avenue, a dead end road. Some reports say he was shot twice, while others say he was shot at least four times. He is currently in critical condition at Jamaica Hospital.
Big D's Car Service owner, Frank Favors, says the suspect had come into service headquarters and specifically asked to be taken to the dead end. The man reportedly spoke to Bell and arranged a price, and shot him five minutes later when he was dropped off. Police are still investigating a possible motive.
