Chicago-based limo owner/driver Mohammed Al Hijoj Lost His Life on Sunday Night After Being Shot Multiple Times in Chicago.

According to a witness, Al Hijoj's vehicle came to a stop before gunshots were heard. Then four men got out of the limo and fled the scene on North Lotus Avenue in the city's Austin neighborhood.

Al Hijoj, a married father of three, was rushed to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Issa Shubash, a close friend and fellow driver, was interviewed by FOX32 & highlighted the daily risks faced by drivers providing transportation services.

"We
leave the house, we leave our kids, family to provide services to other
people to get them home safe … We drive people to different locations
which could be dangerous sometimes," said Shubash.

According to sources, a handgun was recovered near the vehicle, and the offenders are still at large.
