Officially charged.
First degree murder after deliberation.

With deliberation sounds interesting. Must have continued shooting once safely out of car.

Hrm. Prosecutorial overreach? Think they swung too far and will result in a not guilty?

Only going off what I have read and what I have seen in interviews with his wife, but it seems like the guy was a solid dude. Good father, student, good with the community kids. This will be an interesting case to follow.
im refering to the guy in jail, not the one who was shot.

I guess the big lesson here is that if you are going to drive for Uber and carry a gun, you should have a camera recording every trip.

The deliberation part would mean that he committed the murder after taking the act into consideration. So 1st degree would also mean that he planned this crime and it was not an impulsive attack nor an attack in self defense. Interesting, the DA thinks they have evidence to show that he knowingly planned to take the victims life after also thinking about and considering the outcome?

I really do hope that there is truly some evidence of a crime and this is not simply a case of "let's make an example out of this guy" because he wasn't supposed to have a gun. I wonder if Uber has also been putting pressure on the DA to prosecute and give their "policy" some teeth.

Will CCW insurance groups cover such an instance as employer policy against firearms?

Employer policy is not law, so I'd like to think so, but you never know.

Is there such a thing as post facto trespassing charge due to CCW at work? I'd think if it was "during the commission of a criminal activity (trespassing)" they wouldn't. But of course there would be no actual trespassing unless thrown retroactively?
