Synopsis for “Woman Takes ‘Joyride’ to Allegedly Kill Uber Driver”
In a chilling incident that underscores the dangers faced by rideshare drivers, 27-year-old Kayla Dawson is accused of fatally stabbing her Uber driver, 38-year-old Jeremy Campbell. The shocking events unfolded late Sunday night when Dawson, seeking a “joyride,” summoned Campbell for a pick-up. Shortly after, Campbell’s family reported him missing, leading authorities to discover his car abandoned in an apartment parking lot, stained with blood and devoid of any trace of him.
Initially, Dawson claimed she fell asleep during the ride and awoke to Campbell attempting to touch her, prompting her to stab him in what she called self-defense. However, investigators found inconsistencies in her story, including her initial decision to bring a knife on what she claimed was a casual outing. The investigation later revealed that Dawson had allegedly turned off her phone’s location services and possibly had premeditated intentions.
As details unfold, this disturbing case highlights the inherent risks of the rideshare industry, raising questions about passenger safety and the terrifying encounters drivers may face.
