Surveillance footage shows two suspects involved in the shooting death of a Pakistani immigrant in June
A hardworking Pakistan i livery driver killed in an apparent botched robbery inside his car died chasing the American Dream, his grieving roommates told The Post Monday.
“We both know his family, who are good people,” the 62-year-old continued, adding that he had been Afzal’s neighbor in Pakistan. “His girls go to a private college in Faisalabad, which is expensive.” The city medical examiner ruled the killing a homicide — although the NYPD did not confirm that he died during an attempted robbery.
But his roommates — with whom he shared a daily breakfast of tea and eggs — encouraged him to drive for Uber, a career path they both took themselves. “It’s safer to drive for Uber than the car service, because the car service driver has cash,” Rundjwa said. “Everybody knows Uber drivers don’t have cash. Plus, Uber tracks my ride and has all the information about the customer.”Afzal was a father-of-four who sent money back to his family to pay for his kids’ school, his roommates said.
