An investigation is underway after a 41-year-old man who may have been working as a rideshare driver was shot on Cleveland's East Side Tuesday night, and his vehicle was taken.

According to the Cleveland Division of Police, just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the 3400 block of East 146th Street for a report of a man shot, police said. Upon arrival, officers located the 41-year-old and immediately rendered first aid.

The police report states that witnesses reported hearing a loud bang, then saw the victim stumble from the truck, holding his face, before making his way to the porch of a nearby home

The homeowner found the 41-year-old sitting on her front steps, bleeding from his face. She also noticed an Uber notification on his phone indicating he had arrived at a pickup location.

The report also mentioned that home surveillance video appears to show a black pickup truck pulling up to the intersection. A person got out, moved around the vehicle and about ten seconds later, the victim was seen injured, walking away.

Another witness told police they saw someone dressed in all black get out of the passenger side, fire a shot, push the victim aside, and then drive off in the truck.

According to police, the man's vehicle was taken during the shooting, but was located shortly after.

The man was transported to a nearby hospital, and his condition is unknown at this time.

No suspects have been taken into custody.

Police are still searching for the shooter or shooters. Anyone with information is asked to contact Cleveland Police.

This comes after two Lyft drivers were killed earlier this year, just days apart.
