Mourice Foster, a 32-year-old African American man from Cleveland, OH, was fatally shot on August 28, 2017. Foster, who worked as a Lyft driver, was shot four times while dropping off a 31-year-old female passenger on Cleveland's east side. The woman was shot once in the arm but survived the attack. Foster was pronounced dead at the scene.
Foster's fiancée, Tyra Ford, revealed that he was working extra hours as a Lyft driver to save money for their dream wedding, which they had planned
for the following July. Foster had four children ranging in age from 3 to 13, and he treated Ford's 13-year-old child as his own. Ford described Foster as a dedicated and hardworking individual who always put his family first.
Following the shooting, police arrested a man but later released him after concluding he was not a suspect. The motive behind the attack remains unclear. Despite the tragic circumstances, Ford and Foster's family continue to remember him for his loving and selfless nature.
The case did not lead to any further arrests or significant legal actions, and the investigation into Foster's death remains unresolved. The community and Lyft officials expressed deep sorrow and condolences over Foster's death.
