The colleagues of a cabdriver slain in a drive-by shooting last week hope to send a message with a protest at City Hall this afternoon.
The Somali drivers are angry that Dallas police haven't charged the two passengers who dropped the mortally wounded driver off on the side of the road after the April 19 shooting.
Bashir Abraham (right), a 30-year-old immigrant from Somalia, was shot after picking up Fidel Retana, 25, and Ezequiel Vasquez, 31, at the XTC Cabaret strip club.
Police say Jose Luis Covarrubias Jr., 21, opened fire on Abraham's cab with a shotgun, targeting one of the men he had gotten into an argument with at the club. Covarrubias remains at large.
Retana and Vasquez then left the driver in the road and drove to a hospital in the cab. Police later found Abraham dead in the street.
Neither Retana nor Vasquez suffered life-threatening injuries.
The protest will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Dallas City Hall Plaza, 1500 Marilla St.
