An Uber Eats driver is being sought in Atlanta, Georgia for allegedly shooting a customer after a dispute and fleeing the scene:

An UberEATS driver was on the run Monday after a man who ordered a meal from the online food delivery service was killed in a late night shooting in Atlanta over the weekend, police told local media.

The 30-year-old man was shot multiple times after exchanging words with the driver in Atlanta's Buckhead neighborhood at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, police told Atlanta's NBC affiliate WXIA, channel 11.

Also at WSB-TV, 11Alive, and AJC.

    Food delivery seldom escalates to violence when the food and the delivery is already paid for via the app, (including optional tip).

    How can you meaningfully pay a tip in advance? Unless you are prescient, of course.
