An UberEats driver is wanted by police following the fatal shooting of a customer outside an apartment in Atlanta.

Ryan Thornton suffered multiple gunshot wounds after leaving the apartment to collect the takeaway from the UberEats driver at around 11.30pm on 17 February.

The 30-year-old victim received his order and began walking away from the delivery driver’s vehicle when he was shot multiple times in the wealthy uptown district of Buckhead, Atlanta Police say.

“As the victim was walking away, it appears words may have been exchanged between he and the delivery driver,” a police spokesperson said.
