A US Marine hero and dad who survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan has been shot dead while driving an Uber in California, creating "chaos" in his young family's life.
Father-of-two and military veteran Aaron Orozco, 38, ended up in what police called a "physical altercation" at a 7-Eleven convenience store with two passengers he had picked early in the morning, police said.
The quarrel broke out for unknown reasons and ended with Aaron being shot in the upper chest, Los Angeles Police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
