Rhode Island man convicted of murdering Boston cab driver
Briefly

Phillip Foy was found guilty of first-degree murder for the shooting death of 60-year-old cab driver Luckinson Oruma in 2019. The incident occurred outside the Colonnade Hotel after Foy attempted to pay for a ride to Mansfield, which Oruma refused. Following an altercation, Foy drew a weapon and fired multiple shots at Oruma. Despite claiming self-defense, Foy was convicted and faced accountability for his actions, which left the community in shock over the violence against a worker.
The shooting death of Luckinson Oruma was shattering not just for his family and friends, but for anyone who goes to work each day expecting, as they should, to be in a safe environment.
This defendant turned Mr. Oruma's environment into something tragically different, and I'm very grateful that the jury held him accountable for his devastating actions.
