Pittsburgh police today arrested a taxi passenger who they said shot the cab driver who picked him up at Rivers Casino early Thanksgiving morning.
Anthony L. Mohamed, 26, was arrested at 10:45 a.m. in his Hazelwood home. He faces charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, court records show.
The taxi driver, a 38-year-old Moroccan immigrant who requested anonymity out of fear for his safety, and leaders of the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh described the shooting as a hate crime to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. At a press conference at Pittsburgh police headquarters this afternoon, police would not comment on whether the shooting was a hate crime, citing an ongoing investigation.
