A social media personality was killed when her Uber was ambushed by multiple gunmen as she was making her way home from a notorious Atlanta strip club where she had been dancing. In a panicked call, the Uber driver, fearful to look out of the car and expose himself to gunfire, told an officer, 'Somebody in my car is shot'.
Teisha Brewley, 31, was in the back of his Chevrolet Escalade at around 4. Brewley, a Guyanese influencer who went by the name Tavi Badiee, had been on her way from the famous strip club Allure, where she danced regularly, to her home in the wealthy Buckhead neighborhood in the north of the city, Channel 2 Action News reported.

The deadly attack comes just months after a senate committee rejected a proposal for the neighborhood to secede from Atlanta - a move driven by conservative residents who claimed the Democratic-run city wasn't doing enough to fight crime.
