NY Man Gets 25 Years In Shooting Of Cabbie
Josiah Galloway Convicted Of Attempted Murder, Assault, Other Charges For Shooting Cab Driver In The Face
MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) ―
A New York man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for shooting a cab driver in the face following a dispute with a different group of cabbies.
Josiah Galloway was convicted last spring of attempted murder, assault and other charges in the May 2008 shooting in Hempstead.
Prosecutors say the 23-year-old Galloway initially had argued with a group of cab drivers about their cars being double-parked. After that first skirmish, Galloway returned about 10 minutes later and shot a cab driver who had no role in the prior argument.
That victim, who was shot in the face, lost several teeth, and part of his jaw bone, but survived.
