Texas (KVIA) -- The woman charged with shooting an Uber driver on US-54 near Loop 375 is due for a bond hearing on Friday, June 23. The hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.
48-year-old Phoebe Copas is charged with Aggravated Assault after investigators say she shot her Uber driver, Daniel Piedra, on June 16.
Police say Copas, who is not from El Paso, was riding in the Uber on her way to Speaking Rock Casino to meet her boyfriend when she saw signs for Juarez. Investigators believe Copas panicked, believing Piedra was kidnapping her and taking her to Mexico.
Police say Copas pulled out a revolver and shot Piedra in the back of the head and wrist, causing the car to crash into a concrete barrier. Court documents state Copas took a picture of the scene and sent it to her boyfriend before calling 911.
Police say the place on the highway where the shooting happened is not near a port of entry and is on a common route to the casino.

You would think if you had a loaded gun you’d let the situation develop a little bit more before assuming the absolute worst.

Wonder if she was able to post her story to Facebook for the other moms.

I don't know. I can see some concern or anxiety about being kidnapped, but she was way too quick to pull the trigger.

What? There is only one side. She is a moron and shot an innocent man.

How do you see both sides? The article says it was a common route to her destination.

She executed the man in the back of the head under an assumption because she is a moron with no sense of direction. 2nd degree murder
