Aidarous Abdella, 53, was shot dead in the early morning hours of September 7, 2014, at the Spring Condominiums on Branch Drive in Tucker, Georgia. Abdella, a Black/African American taxi driver from Lilburn working for Atlanta Lenox Taxi, had driven a female passenger to the complex to meet her boyfriend. Witnesses reported a heated exchange between 29-year-old Elizabeth MeKonnen and her 34-year-old boyfriend, Henok Basore, just before 7 a.m., followed by a single gunshot and screams.

Police say Abdella attempted to intervene in the dispute and was shot in the head; his body was found near his taxi. Basore fled but was located and arrested several hours later and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault. MeKonnen was taken into custody on charges of making false statements and obstruction related to the investigation. The incident was noted as the second homicide of a cab driver in Gwinnett County in less than a month.

Did anyone in the area see the taxi or the couple that morning, or have information about what led to the argument?
