Police are on the hunt for the person or people responsible for the death of a Burlington County taxi driver.
On Sunday, around 2 a.m., a passerby noticed a taxi cab on the side of the road at the intersection of Route 130 North and York Street in Burlington City. The cab driver, Larry Hamilton, 49, was found dead inside the vehicle. One window was shattered. The Burlington County Medical Examiner’s Office ruled his death a homicide.
Hamilton was a self-employed cab driver who leased his taxi from Yellow Cab of Trenton. Khalid Ahdasham, who works at Yellow Cab, says Hamilton was a father of four. He also says Hamilton was nervous to go home at night after he was robbed near his house a few months ago.
“He would fall asleep in the line,” said Ahdasham. “People used to wake him up.”
Detectives have not yet revealed If Hamilton was robbed before his death, how he was killed or if a weapon was recovered. His taxi cab is currently being processed as evidence.
