LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A jury returned a guilty verdict in the case against a man who shot a 777 Taxi Cab driver in 2020 at S.10th and Muhammad Ali Blvd.
Rogerrick Miller was found guilty of assault, possession of a handgun by a convicted felon and for being a persistent felony offender.
According to a media release, the jury found Miller guilty after hearing witness testimony and evidence that Miller shot Khatri Abdllahi in the neck after a 'verbal argument' over payment for a cab ride.
Officials say Miller had previously been convicted of a felony and was prohibited from possessing any firearms.
The media release states that Abdllahi was left a quadriplegic. He is a husband and father of two who immigrated to the U.S. in 2016.
Unfortunately, officials say his condition has deteriorated, and he is in a coma from which a doctor testified he won’t recover.
The family has sent up a GoFundMe account.
Miller is facing up to 30 years in prison with no probation.
A sentence hearing is scheduled for Dec. 9 at 9:15 a.m.
