After reportedly shooting and killing an Uber driver who she assumed was driving her to Mexico, a woman is now being charged with murder. During a journey to a casino in El Paso, Texas, Phoebe D. Copas, 48, of Tompkinsville, Kentucky, allegedly believed that 52-year-old Daniel Piedra Garcia was attempting to kidnap her. She shot him in the back of the head after spotting the road sign for the Mexican town of Juarez, causing him to veer off the road and crash into a highway barrier. She was not in danger at the time of the occurrence, according to El Paso police, who also claimed that she was not close to any border crossings. The El Paso Police Department's Patrol Officers and Fire Medical teams responded to a shooting incident on U.S. 54 South near exit 20 at 2:19 p.m., according to a statement. According to the initial inquiry, Piedra was transporting Copas from the Westside to a location in El Paso's Mission Valley. Copas shot Piedra because she believed she was being brought into Mexico at some point during the journey. According to an affidavit, Copas did not call 911 after the accident instead she sent her boyfriend a picture of the injured driver and he drove to the scene. "The investigation does not support that a kidnapping took place or that Piedra was veering from Copas’ destination." Officers initially charged Copas with aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, but her case was upgraded to murder after the driver was taken off life support
