On the morning of Saturday, November 12, 1988, 26-year-old Matthew Pusateri was shot in the head while working as a taxi driver for Yellow Cab in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He was seated in his vehicle in a parking lot in the 800 block of Sixth Street SW at about 3 a.m. when two men reportedly approached his cab. Police at the time believed robbery may have been the motive after Pusateri allegedly refused to hand over money.

Pusateri was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital but died of his injuries. No arrests have ever been publicly announced and the two men who approached the taxi remain unidentified, leaving the homicide unsolved. If anyone knew Matthew, saw activity in the 800 block of Sixth Street SW that night, or has information about those men, law enforcement would want to hear from you.
