A teenager from Georgia faces adult murder charges after allegedly shooting an Uber driver, a father of two, in the back, leaving his body on the street, and fleeing in the victim’s vehicle, according to police.

The driver, described by both law enforcement and his wife as a man “simply trying to earn extra money for his family,” was killed while on duty.

“He began his shift by picking up a passenger, completely unaware of the impending danger,” wrote Cesar Tejada’s wife, Evelyn, in a heartfelt GoFundMe post.

Authorities identify 15-year-old Christian Simmons, from Lilburn, as the passenger who allegedly targeted Tejada in what officials are calling a fatal “carjacking.” The juvenile had no prior connection to Tejada apart from being his Uber passenger early that Thursday morning.

The incident was reportedly captured on video by a Ring security camera.

“At 4:13 a.m., Mr. Tejada went to pick up a customer on Rangewood Drive in Lilburn,” explained Capt. Dena Pauly of the Lawrenceville Police Department at a Friday press conference. “From there, Mr. Tejada drove the suspect to the 600 block of Groveland Parkway. That’s where the Ring camera shows the suspect exit the back seat, go to the front door … where Mr. Tejada was shot.”

According to police reports, Simmons allegedly shot the 58-year-old in the back, left him face down on the road, and drove off in his SUV. He allegedly returned to the area and the crime scene around 10 minutes later before departing once more, stated Officer Pauly.

“When they arrived at the set destination, that young man not only took his life, he dumped him on the street as if he was disposing of something of no value,” Tejada’s wife says in the GoFundMe description. “He just left him laying on the ground and left the scene after taking his cellphone, his car and the most valuable thing he had, his life. For an unknown reason he drove back to the place where he had left him, stopped for a few seconds and just drove home like nothing had ever happened.”

Police were able to track Simmons down using his Uber information and a Flock camera system to trace where Tejada’s vehicle was left. The teen allegedly left the SUV in the same neighborhood where he was originally picked up, which turned out to be an area where Simmons was staying that night, cops say.

Authorities responded and saw the youth “walking down the road” after exiting a home in the neighborhood and took him into custody, according to Pauly. The area where Simmons asked Tejada to drop him off is home to some “friends” of his, Pauly said.

“We do not have any other motive other than Mr. Simmons wanted the vehicle,” Pauly told reporters Friday. Tejada’s wife says he started his shift that morning as he always does.

“Cesar’s alarm went off at the same time it did every day to go to work at 3:30am,” she recounts. “This was his usual set time to wake up and go to work for Uber. He left the house not knowing that it would be his last time.”

Describing Tejada, Pauly said, “He was just out trying to make extra money for his family. He was summoned to Lilburn to pick up Mr. Simmons.”

Tejada’s wife describes him as “an exemplary man and excellent husband” who was also “a great father” to their two children.

“He wasn’t the type of person to create controversy, he was very calm, composed,” she explains. “He lived a quiet life working hard to provide for his family. He was the main breadwinner of the household and now my family has been left without the security, love and protection of Cesar.”

Simmons is currently being held without bond and is awaiting his next court date.
