This story is appalling to me, to think people were so indifferent to
what they were watching, to not even to bother to pick up a phone and
dial 911? Pathetic. I hope they can look themselves in the mirror
without shame, I know I wouldn't be able to.
People watched from the safety of their high-rise apartments before dawn
Sunday as four men beat a taxi driver to death and dumped his body in
the trunk of the cab, investigators said.
"Eye witnesses saw him being beaten and dragged by his feet and thrown
in the trunk, but no one called 911," said Detective Virginia Lopez.
"It's disgusting."
The apartment manager said the unidentified victim may have been
killed over a parking space.
Police were summoned to the area when the victim's friend called police
from a nearby convenience store and said the two were being robbed and
beaten by four men. Officers then searched near the apartments for the
driver while neighbors watched from their windows, Lopez said.
"They didn't tell police the body was in the trunk," Lopez said. Only
when police went door-to-door did residents start talking -- nearly an
hour later, Lopez said. The man might have lived if police had found
him earlier, she said.
