Robert Nancoo, 42, was a married father of three. After working as a driver for several years he had recently purchased a cab with a partner. He was also taking training to be a part-time dispatcher for Royal Taxi. At about 5:30 a.m. on February 25, 1993, another Royal driver saw him filling his taxi at a propane gas station at Eglinton and Marlee Avenues. Four men got into the car and he drove away. The driver was puzzled because Mr. Nancoo was expected at Royal's downtown headquarters at 6:30 a.m. and would not likely have accepted the fares voluntarily. At 7:45 a.m. a resident of Hidden Trail, a quiet residential street near Dufferin and Steeles, found Mr. Nancoo's 1990 Chevrolet Caprice parked in their driveway. Mr. Nancoo was slumped over the steering wheel, shot in the head.
