A Nigerian man working as a delivery driver was shot and killed on the job in Mitchellville, Maryland, USA, on Thursday morning, August 12, 2021.

The victim has been identified as Noel Njoku, a 48-year-old married man with four children: two daughters, age 15 and 13, and an 11-year-old twin boys.

NBC Washington reports that Njoku was found suffering from gunshot wounds at about 12:20 a.m. in a car in the 3700 block of Lottsford Vista Road.

According to the police, the preliminary investigation revealed Njoku was delivering food to a home in the area when he was sh*t. He was taken to a hospital, where he died. It wasn’t immediately clear who killed Njoku or why.

Njoku was a happy, “peace-loving person” who moved to the U.S. from Nigeria decades ago. He had only recently started working for DoorDash, his brother, Chidi Njoku, told newsmen.

“Please, anybody who has any information, please, please, please — anybody who has any information should come and help us out, please,” he said through tears.

DoorDash released this statement: “We are deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and our hearts go out to the Dasher’s loved ones at this incredibly difficult time. The safety of our community is paramount and we immediately reached out to law enforcement to offer our assistance in any way we can. We are actively working to get in touch with this Dasher’s family to extend our full support.”
