A popular exotic dancer and social media influencer was gunned down in Atlanta early Tuesday morning in what police say was a “targeted” attack that has left keyboard critics asking questions about the 911 operator’s professionalism.
According to Atlanta Police, the shooting took place early around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday on Lindbergh Drive between Piedmont Road and Adina Drive. The woman killed was identified as Teisha Brewley.
A male friend of Brewley reportedly ordered her an Uber to get back to her home after she worked her shift as a dancer at Allure Gentleman’s Club. The male friend began to worry and sent a mobile panic alert when he noticed the Uber was still in one spot for a long period of time.
Police and the Uber driver said that two cars followed the black SUV Uber truck from the nightclub to Lindbergh Drive. At least one car pulled alongside the SUV and opened fire at a red light. The shots were fired directly in the backseat. Police believe multiple shooters are involved. Witnesses said they heard around 40 shots.
Local station WXIA reports that a security company called 911 on behalf of a man who ordered the Uber after they received a “mobile panic alert.” The Uber driver called police shortly after, and WXIA obtained a copy of that 911 call. The driver could be heard panicking and stumbling over his words with a thick foreign accent.
“I was scared, somebody… somebody shot, somebody killed her in my car,” the Uber driver said on the call.
