Michael Howard Palmer
RALEIGH -- A cab driver was shot and killed late Monday night in the parking lot of a north Raleigh apartment complex.
Authorities say 59-year-old Michael Howard Palmer was shot at the Quail Ridge apartments off Falls of Neuse Road shortly after he dropped off the fare he picked up at a Greyhound bus stop on West Jones Street.
Police say they don't have any suspects but they do want to speak with the person who was in the cab.
"We need to talk to the person that was in that cab to find out if they saw anything or to find exactly what happened when they got here," Kevin Carswelo, of the Raleigh Police Department, said.
Palmer worked for the AAA Cab Company.
Anyone with information that could help is asked to call (919) 996-3555.
