NEW BEDFORD — Prosecutors say the issue of self-defense is being looked into as part of the investigation into a fatal shooting in New Bedford's North End on Friday.
Before 1:12 a.m. on Friday, a cab driver for Yellow Cab of New Bedford was dispatched to Cottage Street to pick up two male fares, according to Bristol County District Attorney Thomas Quinn. "There was an attempted robbery of the cab driver, allegedly by physical force and with a knife," said Quinn.
The cab driver was stopped in the area of 20 Bentley Street when he was able to escape a chokehold one of the men in the back seat had put him in.
At that point, said Quinn, the driver took out a firearm and fired several shots into the back seat, striking Christopher Dunton, 24, four times. Dunton was found lying on the ground outside of the taxi. He was transported to St. Luke's Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
