The shooting took place just before 10 p.m. in the 21800 block of 30th South, police said. There were reports of 10 to 15 shots fired.

The taxi cab driver had just dropped off a fare in the area when occupants of a green SUV started firing shots at three people walking on the street. The cab driver was hit in the abdomen.

Police said they are looking for a green SUV, possibly a Ford Explorer.
