The passenger had barely gotten into Lyft driver Robert Smith’s car in Little Italy when there was a screech of tires and Smith looked up to see a gun pointed at the back window.
Smith said he sped down Taylor Street as the gunman kept firing for two blocks. When he had a chance to check, Smith saw his passenger was badly wounded. Smith said he raced to the nearest hospital, where 19-year-old Jeleal Goins died.
