@crimeatyourfingertips: A Tompkinsville woman is now facing a murd3r charge after police say she sh0t a Texas Uber driver. Police arrested Phoebe Copas, 48, on June 16 after she allegedly shot Daniel J. Piedra Garcia, 52, of El Paso. He was driving her to a casino in the El Paso Mission Valley area. He was employed through the ridesharing program Uber. “At some point during the drive, Copas thought she was being taken into Mexico & sh0t Piedra,” according to a news release from Texas authorities. Police say Piedra was sh0t in the back of the head with a revolver-style pist0l. Piedra was taken to an area hospital where he remained in critical condition. He died Wednesday 14th June just before 4 p.m. Piedra’s family said he had been driving for Uber for about a month. He had started the job while recovering from knee surgery. “It’s devastating, and it has wrecked us so much,” said Didi Lopez, Piedra’s niece. “It’s something that shouldn’t have happened.” Uber has said Copas is now banned from ever using the app & is ready to assist the police with what they need. Ana Piedra, the victim’s wife, has started a GoFundMe campaign to help pay for hospital & funeral expenses. She said her husband was the primary provider for their family. The fund has a goal of $30,000 and had raised just over $25,500 as of 1 p.m. Thursday 22nd June. Doctors told his family the damage was too extensive to repair. He was taken off life support on Sunday after a 5-day hospital stay. Copas remains lodged in an El Paso jail on a $1.5 million bond.
