Watch: Woman recounts Lyft ride that ended in shooting
Portland City Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty, who has pushed for large cuts to the Portland Police Department, called 911 on a Lyft driver after he canceled the ride. Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community.
A former Lyft driver who’s charged with shooting a woman in York after an argument about the temperature inside the car told investigators that he had been trying to fire a warning shot at the curb, police testified on Thursday.
York City Police Detective Zachary Pelton said on cross-examination that Jerry Miller stated that he stopped on East College Avenue and South George Street on June 24. He then tried to get out of the car, he told investigators, but one of the three women he’d been driving struck him in the back of the head.
Next, Miller told police, he grabbed his gun, a SIG Sauer P320. He then fired out the back passenger side window. The women had already exited the vehicle.

“This was a warning shot,” said Pelton, who was referencing notes of the interview, “and he shot at the curb.”
District Judge Ronald Haskell Jr. later ordered Miller, 51, of Newburg, Cumberland County, whose story differed from the three women, to stand trial on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person. Prosecutors added two additional counts of each at the start of the preliminary hearing.

Pelton testified that Miller told investigators that the women called him racist and that he was scared.
Miller is white. The women are Black.
Police later executed a search warrant and found a magazine containing 15 bullets inside his car.
Miller was cooperative and turned over his weapon to law enforcement. He had a little mark behind his right ear, Pelton testified.

Earlier in the hearing, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jennifer Tobias called Henrietta Rice, one of the three women who was in the car, as a witness.
Rice testified that she and her nieces, Rosemarie Elliott and Mae Harris, called a Lyft at about 3 a.m. following a family game night. She asked the driver to let them roll down the windows because it was cold, but he ignored her repeated requests.
Later, Miller, she testified, started to call her dumb. He had locked the doors in the car.
When they got to the intersection, Rice testified, one of her nieces stated that she was going to call the ride-hailing company and ask for a refund. Miller told them to get out of the car. But she said the doors were still locked.
They eventually made it out of the car.
That’s when Rice said she saw the driver reach down, pull out a gun and fire one shot. The bullet hit the curb, and fragments struck Harris in the leg. The three went to a family member’s house and called the police.
“He had my whole life shook up,” Rice testified. “I’m scared of this man.”
On cross-examination, Rice said no one was under the influence, to her knowledge. She said she doesn’t drink or take drugs. She said they did not have the opportunity to physically do anything to the driver.

In a statement, Leticia Chavez-Freed, an attorney who’s representing the family with her co-counsel, Jenni Chavis, said they were happy to see Miller appropriately charged.
“Violence against Black women has often been minimized and discounted throughout the history of this country. We are so very pleased to see our clients being taken seriously and having the perpetrator being held accountable,” Chavez-Freed said. “It is a good day for all women and York County has much to be proud of in their stance of upholding the laws of the commonwealth, accountability and protecting women.”
Miller is set to be formally arraigned on Sept. 9. He’s free on $25,000 unsecured bail.
