Police are still searching for an Uber Eats delivery driver accused of shooting and killing a customer in Buckhead.
Ryan Thornton, 30, of Atlanta, ordered food via the smartphone app about 11:30 p.m. Saturday, officials said. The driver delivered the order to Thornton’s residence in the 2800 block of Pharr Court South.

Thornton was shot multiple times and the driver left the scene in a white Volkswagen, according to police.
Thornton was rushed to Grady Memorial Hospital, where he died.
