Man arrested in 2016 slaying of Raleigh cab driver

Police have arrested a man in the fatal shooting last year of a Raleigh cab driver whose body was found lying on a street.

Tyron Diontae Cooper, 31, has been charged with murder and possession of a firearm in connection with the Nov. 8, 2016 death of Nwabu Cyril Efobi, 56, authorities said. Police found the body of Efobi after they were called to a report of a shooting at 432 Hill Street shortly after 6 p.m. He died at the scene.

The shooting occurred outside Universal Cab Company, which is where Efobi worked.

Police did not immediately publicly disclose a motive for the shooting and it was not clear if the victim knew the suspect.
