On the morning of September 21, 2015, 39-year-old livery cab driver Mamadou Barry was found dead in his green Lincoln Town Car at East 189th Street and Beaumont Avenue in the Bronx. He was discovered in the driver’s seat with a fatal gunshot wound to the head and was pronounced dead at the scene around 1:30 a.m. Barry, an immigrant from Guinea and father of three with a fourth child expected, had been working a fare that investigators believe began in Mott Haven near East 138th Street and Brook Avenue and continued roughly six miles to the Belmont neighborhood.

Witnesses reported hearing three shots before Barry’s vehicle crashed into a hair salon. Surveillance footage showed a man fleeing on foot; he was described as thin, medium complexion, wearing a red hooded sweatshirt and light-colored shorts. The case prompted calls from fellow drivers for protective measures in cabs and large community mourning. On September 24, 2015, police arrested 24-year-old Nicholas Sanchez of the Bronx and charged him with murder, manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon; his attorney contested the identification, noting a height discrepancy with the person in the video.

If anyone saw the pickup, the crash, or the person who fled, does that match what was seen on the surveillance video or the descriptions given?
