(Toby Melville/Reuters)An Uber Eats driver has been charged with murder in the shooting death of a customer Saturday in Atlanta. Patterson said that Bivines told him that Thornton was agitated by the time Bivines arrived because the driver had issues finding the location. Patterson said that when Bivines gave Thornton his food order, Thornton “jerked it” away and cursed at the driver. According to Uber, drivers are required to undergo a screening process, which checks driving histories and criminal histories, including the national sex offender registry.
