A social media personality was killed when her Uber was ambushed by multiple gunmen as she was making her way home from a notorious Atlanta strip club where she had been dancing.
In a panicked 911 call, the Uber driver, fearful to look out of the car and expose himself to gunfire, told an officer, 'Somebody in my car is shot'.
Teisha Brewley, 31, was in the back of his Chevrolet Escalade at around 4.30am Tuesday when the car came under fire from shooters in two vehicles who collectively fired more than 20 rounds, according to the driver.
Brewley, a Guyanese influencer who went by the name Tavi Badiee, had been on her way from the famous strip club Allure, where she danced regularly, to her home in the wealthy Buckhead neighborhood in the north of the city, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Police say they believe it was targeted attack but no suspects have been identified.
The deadly attack comes just months after a senate committee rejected a proposal for the neighborhood to secede from Atlanta - a move driven by conservative residents who claimed the Democratic-run city wasn't doing enough to fight crime.
The Uber driver told Channel 2 Action News that after he picked Brewley up from the club he was immediately tailed by two cars and that after driving for around a mile shooters, from both cars opened fire.
A recording of the phone conversation in which the Uber driver, who was uninjured, called 911 after his car was showered in bullets was released by the Atlanta Police Department Wednesday.
When the dispatch officer answered the phone, the driver told her: 'I'm in the road, somebody shot us.'
The officer pressed for his location but he was fearful of peering out of the car to read the street signs. 'I don't know where I am,' he said. 'I am scared, somebody will shot.'
'Somebody killed in my car,' he said in a thick accent. When asked for the address again, he said: 'You want me to get out the car and see?'
When asked if Brewley was breathing, he replied: 'Yeah. I see some breathing.'
When EMS crews eventually arrived they found 'a female with multiple gunshot wounds' and 'pronounced the victim deceased', police said in a statement.
Brewley's death came just days after she celebrated her 31st birthday. Various clips posted to her Instagram profile showed she was performing at Allure hours before the ambush.
Originally from Georgetown, Guyana, she was said to have moved to Atlanta with her brother. In Georgia, she worked as a dancer and OnlyFans model and occasionally starred in her own rap music videos.
Guyanese news outlet Stabroek News referred to her by another name, Tisha Brodie.
