Cab driver shot in southwest Houston
KTRK By Jessica Willey
(11/13/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - Houston police are searching for the gunman who shot a taxi driver, as he sat at a bank's drive-thru ATM. It happened near the intersection of Westheimer and Rogerdale, right across the street from St. Cyril Catholic Church.
Just after 12:30 Tuesday afternoon, police received a report that someone had been shot in the Chase bank parking lot. According to eyewitnesses, a yellow cab was sitting at one of the ATMs with a person in the back. A shot was fired and the driver was pushed out of the car and left to die.
The suspect took off in the cab. With the help of the vehicle's GPS system, the empty car was located soon after at an apartment complex on Pagewood near Gessner just three miles away.
The driver worked for Yellow Cab. He is in surgery at Ben Taub Hospital. He's listed in critical condition. His identity has not been released.
Surveillance video from the bank and the cab will be examined as part of the investigation. Authorities also hope to use the car's GPS system to help trace the driver's whereabouts just before the shooting.
"One of the things we're working on right now is to provide to HPD an accounting of where the cab originated and the route the cab took," said Robert Rugg, president of Yellow Cab. "Because of the GPS system we have in the cabs, we basically know where the vehicle is at all times."
According to company officials, the driver picked up his last fare near Sidney and Yellowstone in southeast Houston. The call came in about noon and the company dispatched the driver. He turned the meter on when he picked up his fare and never turned it off.
It is not known if the shooter is the same person who was picked up. Witnesses couldn't tell if the person who sped away from the crime scene was a man or a woman. The suspect is still on the loose.

Taxi surveillance camera photo of suspect
Photo of female suspect in cab driver shooting released
Picture of woman caught on cab surveillance
KTRK
(11/14/07 - KTRK/HOUSTON) - We learned Tuesday that police are looking for a woman suspected in up to six armed robberies, including Monday's shooting of a Yellow Cab taxi driver.
Police released a photo of the woman they are looking for in the armed robberies. Police have not officially linked all of the cases, but they say the similarities among them are striking.
A photo taken from a camera inside the taxi show a light skin African-American woman brandishing what appears to be a .380 caliber automatic weapon.
Police say the woman fits the description of the suspect in at least six other armed robberies of cabs dating back to November 6. Five of them occurred Monday alone. The first one was around 12:20am. The last one was around 1pm, in which the cab driver was shot.
The cab driver, identified as Derek Byers, 39, had picked up the woman at 6734 Sydney Street in southwest Houston. Police believe the suspect made Byers drive to the 10000 block of Westheimer where she shot him in the back of the head while in the cab. She then fled in the car.
Police say in an earlier incident Monday, the suspect made another cab driver head to an ATM. That driver escaped.
"From her demeanor during this incident, she's definitely a threat," said Manuel Cruz with the Houston Police Department. "I would definitely caution cab drivers to be aware of this type of situation when they're picking up their fares."
Police have not officially linked all of these cases. They say in at least one of the cases, the suspect had a female accomplice.
As for Byers, we're told he remains in critical condition in the hospital and his prognosis does not look good.

Photos released of suspect in cabbie shooting
By LINDSAY WISE
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
Houston police released surveillance photos Wednesday of a woman wanted in the shooting of a cab driver in west Houston.
Homicide investigators are seeking the public's help in identifying the woman, who they think might have robbed at least five other taxi cab drivers Tuesday morning before shooting 39-year-old Derick Bernard Byers shortly before 1 p.m.
In each incident, the woman forced the cab drivers to drive to ATMs at gunpoint and robbed them, said Sgt. Manuel Cruz of HPD's homicide division. "Obviously she escalated to this point," Cruz said. "Nobody before (Byers) was hurt."
Byers remained in critical condition at Ben Taub General Hospital on Wednesday night, said Robert Rugg, president of Yellow Cab.
"Last I heard, they said he has a 50 to 50 chance," Rugg said. "Hopefully every day he survives he gets stronger and better. That's what we're praying for."
Meanwhile, cab drivers across Houston are taking extra precautions and studying photos of the woman, he said.
"They're going to be more vigilant when anything like this happens," Rugg said. "The drivers are automatically in a heightened state of awareness and they're going to be looking at everybody very closely before they let them in their cab."
According to investigators, Byers had picked the woman up in the 6700 block of Sidney Street in the Third Ward about noon Tuesday.
At some point during the ride, the woman allegedly pulled out a silver automatic pistol and shot Byers in the back of the head, Cruz said. The woman then pushed or kicked him out of the driver's seat and fled the scene in his Yellow Cab.
Byers was found lying in the parking lot of a Chase Bank at 10441 Westheimer. He was taken to Ben Taub, where he underwent surgery Tuesday.
Byers' cab was later found abandoned in the 9800 block of Pagewood at the Westchase Forest Townhomes.
With help from Yellow Cab, investigators were able to retrieve photographs of the woman from the in-car surveillance camera.
The woman is 25-30 years old, with a medium to heavy build. She was wearing oversized glasses, a long-sleeved pullover hooded "Apple Bottoms" sweatshirt and a multi-colored polo shirt underneath.
Police ask anyone with information about the woman's identity to contact HPD's homicide division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Police: Cabdriver Shooter Caught On Tape
POSTED: 5:26 pm CST November 14, 2007
UPDATED: 5:41 pm CST November 14, 2007
HOUSTON -- Houston police released surveillance photos Wednesday from inside the taxi where a cabdriver was shot in the head by a woman he picked up for a fare, KPRC Local 2 reported.
Investigators said the Yellow Cab driver, Derick Bernard Byers, 39, picked up a fare in southeast Houston before he was shot and dumped at the Chase Bank parking lot, 10411 Westheimer Road, shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday.
The taxi was found a short time later at the Westchase Forest Townhomes complex located at 9850 Pagewood.
"From the sequence of images that we were able to retrieve, you can tell that she's quite calm through the whole thing -- no signs of panic," said Sgt. Manuel Cruz with the Houston Police Homicide Division.
Investigators said Byers picked her up at a southeast Houston house and drove her around for 45 minutes before ending up at the bank.
Byers was listed in critical condition Wednesday.
Officials said the woman could be connected to four other robberies of Yellow Cab drivers earlier in the day. The drivers said their robber was an African-American female.
"What are the chances of having black females doing robberies targeting Yellow cabs?" said Lt. Humberto Lopez with the Houston Police Homicide Division. "This lady has no remorse. This lady has no fear. This lady is just like -- pow."
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Cabdriver found shot in west Houston
Police search for woman who was seen driving the taxi from the scene
By LINDSAY WISE
Shortly after noon Tuesday, a cabdriver answered a seemingly routine call to pick up a passenger in the Third Ward.
Less than an hour later, the 39-year-old driver was found lying in a parking lot near an ATM machine in west Houston, bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head.
As police searched for a woman who witnesses saw drive the man's Yellow Cab away from the shooting in the 10400 block of Westheimer, the victim's colleagues prayed he would survive the attack.
"We're all still pretty distraught about it," said Robert Rugg, president of Yellow Cab of Houston. "It really hits home."
The driver was in critical condition late Tuesday at Ben Taub General Hospital, where he underwent surgery, Rugg said. He said his company first realized something was wrong when the driver pressed the vehicle's "go to voice" button, signaling dispatchers to contact him. When he didn't answer dispatchers' hails, "we knew something wasn't correct," Rugg said.
Using a global positioning system, Yellow Cab was able to track the car to a location just outside Beltway at Westheimer.
"At that time, we also learned the cabdriver had sustained a bullet wound to the head and he was outside the cab," Rugg said. "He apparently was shot and then pushed out of the cab."
The cab was found abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot not far from the scene of the shooting. Pictures from the vehicle's in-car security camera have been turned over to police, Rugg said.
The shooting has rattled other cabdrivers in the area.
"Everybody's pretty much in shock right now," Rugg said. "I think drivers are going to be more vigilant with something like this having happened."
Meanwhile, the wounded driver continues to fight for his life. "We're still hoping and praying at this point," Rugg said.

Houston cab driver critical after being shot
LINDSAY WISE
Houston police are investigating the shooting of a cab driver in west Houston today.
The 39-year-old man was shot in a parking lot near an ATM machine in the 10400 block of Westheimer shortly before 1 p.m., police said.
Witnesses told investigators they saw a woman drive away on Rogerdale in the man's Yellow Cab, police said.
The wounded man was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he is in critical condition and undergoing surgery, said Robert Rugg, president of Yellow Cab.
Rugg said the man, an independant contractor, picked up a passenger shortly after noon in the 6700 block of Sidney in the Third Ward.
At some point, the driver pressed a "go to voice" button inside the cab, signalling for dispatchers to try to contact him, Rugg said. But the driver didn't respond to their hails, he said.
"We knew something wasn't correct," Rugg said.
Using a global positioning system, Yellow Cab was able to track the car to a location just outside Beltway at Westheimer, he said.
"At that time, we also learned the cab driver had sustained a bullet wound to the head and he was outside the cab," Rugg said. "He apparently was shot and then pushed out of the cab."
The cab was later found abandoned in an apartment complex parking lot not far from the scene of the shooting. Pictures from the vehicle's in-car security camera have been turned over to police, Rugg said.
"It has helped before, so let's hope that there was no malfunction or anything like that and we got pictures and we're going to catch this person," Rugg said.
The shooting has rattled other cab drivers in the area, he said.
"Everybody's pretty much in shock right now," Rugg said. "I think drivers are going to be more vigilant with something like this having happened. I think there'll be a heightened state of awareness out there."
Meanwhile, the wounded driver continues to fight for his life. "We're still hoping and praying at this point," Rugg said.

Houston cab driver dies nearly week after shooting
By MIKE GLENN
A cab driver died early Sunday, almost a week after he was shot in the head and dumped in a southwest Houston bank parking lot, hospital officials said.
Derick Byers, 39, picked up the suspect on Nov. 13 in the 6700 block of Sidney. Less than an hour later, Byers was found lying near an Chase Bank ATM machine at 10441 Westheimer, Houston police said.
Byers was rushed to Ben Taub General Hospital, where he remained in critical condition until his death.

Driving in fear: Cabbies uneasy after shooting
By Jeff McShan / 11 News
Houston police told 11 News that have a break in the case of a cab driver shot and killed last week. Meanwhile, we went along for a ride with an area cabbie and learned what drivers are doing to protect themselves.
“She is still out there. She was pretty ruthless in what she did,’ cab driver Paul Wegman said of the shooter, whose image was captured by a camera in the cab when she shot driver Derick Byers. “Drivers are kind of uneasy until she gets put behind bars.’
Byers died Sunday of the wounds he sustained when the unidentified woman shot him in the head.
Wegman said every cab driver in town is on the lookout for the woman.
Byers picked up the suspect on a street called Sydney last Tuesday and was shot in the head less than an hour later.
He was found lying near a Chase Bank ATM machine. The shooter took his cab.
“It´s something that affects every cab driver from every cab company in the city,’ said Wegman. “We all know it could happen to you.’
As 11 News drove around with Wegman, we learned that he has been a driver for 12 years and that many of his passengers are repeat customers. That fact makes him feel safer.
That and the camera that's mounted right above the rearview mirror.
“I have had customers ask me is that a camera? And I say yes it is,’ explained Wegman. “Sometimes it makes you wonder if they had something on their mind when they saw that or sometimes you get someone that thinks they are on (the HBO show) cab cams confessions you know.’
When we finished our ride, Wegman wanted to show us one more thing before we left. It was a newspaper article in the back pocket of the seat.
It not only tells the story of last week´s shooting, but has the picture of the suspect. Something he wants all his passengers to see.

An 18-year-old woman charged in the fatal shooting of a Houston cabdriver was arrested outside a convenience store late Tuesday, Houston police reported this morning.
Police had charged and released a photograph of Lauren Raychelle Kirkman earlier in the day. She is charged with murder in the Nov. 13 death of 39-year-old Derick Bernard Byers.
He died Friday after being shot in the head.

Taser Used On Woman Charged In Cabbie's Death
POSTED: 6:42 am CST November 21, 2007
UPDATED: 6:05 pm CST November 21, 2007
HOUSTON -- Houston police used a Taser gun on a woman accused of killing a Yellow Cab driver when she resisted arrest, KPRC Local 2 reported Wednesday.
Investigators said they got a tip that Lauren Raychelle Kirkman, 18, was in the passenger seat of a car in the parking lot of a gas station on Beechnut Street near Corporate Drive at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Officers ordered Kirkman to get out of a car. Kirkman told police they would have to shoot and kill her, officials said.
Kirkman refused to get down on the ground, police said. An officer shocked her with a Taser gun to subdue her and she fell to the ground.
Paramedics checked Kirkman out at the scene. She was not injured and police took her to jail.
Kirkman did not have any drugs or weapons in her possession when she was arrested, police said. The driver of the car was not taken into custody.
Investigators said Kirkman got into Derick Bernard Byers' Yellow Cab shortly before 1 p.m. on Nov. 13, and after riding around a while, shot him in the back of the head and dumped his body at a bank parking lot in the 10400 block of Westheimer Road. Byers died a few days later.
"She's a cold-blooded murderer, in my opinion, she is," said D. Vasquez with HPD's Homicide Division.. "At the time of the arrest, she did become belligerent."
A camera inside the cab captured several pictures of Kirkman, police said.
Byers' relatives said they were relieved that an arrest has been made.
"I wouldn't want her to be out running around and perhaps get a chance to do it to somebody else," brother Andre Byers said. "We're going to be praying for her. They may offer her life in prison. They may offer her the death penalty, I don't know. I'd like to know what she would want. And whatever she would want for herself would be fine with me."
Andre Byers said his family understands what Kirkman's family is going through.
"I have a brother that's incarcerated, who committed murder," he said. "I wouldn't want anything worse for this woman than I would want for my own brother."
Kirkman has been charged with murder. Her criminal history showed she spent 15 days in jail for shoplifting at a Wal-Mart.
Officials said Kirkman was linked to three other robberies of Yellow Cab drivers earlier in the day. Those robberies are under investigation. Officials said they are looking into the possibility that Kirkman might have had an accomplice.
"I feel 100 percent better now than I did with her being on the street," taxi cab driver Sam Epps said.
Police said they believe Kirkman's motive was for money to cover a drug habit.

Cab Drivers Push For Warnings After Slaying
November 23, 2007
HOUSTON -- Daniel Teal has been driving a taxi for three years and the recent death of his friend and fellow cab driver Derick Byers has left him feeling vulnerable and frustrated.
"The day of his murder, I saw Derick," Teal said.
Lauren Kirkman, 18, has been charged with capital murder in connection with Byers' death. She was arrested outside a southwest Houston convenience store on Wednesday.
Houston police said Kirkman robbed several cab drivers at gunpoint before catching a ride in Byers' cab and shooting him in the head on Nov. 13.
"Had he had the heads up of what's going on, he probably would have looked and said, 'Nah, I'm not going to take that trip,'" Teal said. "But he didn't have adequate warning."
In Byer's memory, Teal has started collecting signatures on a petition. Drivers said that they should have received a warning on their cab computers that someone fitting Kirkman's description was robbing cab drivers.
"If a warning was in place, being that if they had sent out a fleet message we would have been on alert for this female," driver Carl Brown said.
Teal said he wants to prevent the same thing happening to another driver and most of all, he does not want Byers' death to be in vain.
We can't stop people from robbing, we can't stop people from doing criminal activity, but we can give our drivers a warning," Teal said.

Suspect in Houston cabbie killing held without bail
By BRIAN ROGERS
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
A Houston woman charged with capital murder in the Nov. 13 shooting of a cab driver will remain behind bars without bail, a judge ruled Monday morning.
Lauren Raychelle Kirkman, 18, is accused of shooting Derick Bernard Byers, a subcontractor for Yellow Cab Inc., in the back of the head.
Kirkman was arrested last week after police released taxicab photos of Kirkman in the back seat of the cab and climbing over the seat with a gun.
Prosecutor Sylvia Newman said witnesses saw Byers being pushed out of his cab in the parking lot of a Westheimer bank. She alleged that Kirkman then drove the cab away.
Byers died at Ben Taub General Hospital three days later.
The taxi later was found with a cell phone belonging to a woman who said she was car-jacked days before. The woman identified Kirkman as her attacker.
Police have said four other cabdriver robberies occurred in the southeast Houston area earlier that day. Newman said the robberies remain under investigation.
Newman said the District Attorney's office had not yet determined whether to seek the death penalty in the case.
She also said Kirkman's family has hired a lawyer. Kirkman was represented at the arraignment before state District Judge Jim Wallace by a court-appointed attorney,
