KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — A 21-year-old Kansas City man who shot a female zTrip driver about 26 times has been sentenced to 13 years in federal prison. Derron Nevels was sentenced Wednesday for robbery and discharging a firearm during a violent crime. Prosecutors said he was picked up by a zTrip driver in Kansas City in December 2014. When he arrived at his destination, Nevels held a gun to the driver’s head and demanded all her money. The driver struggled with Nevels and was shot about 26 times. Nevels and another person returned to the car about 10 minutes later and retrieved a cellphone but left the driver, who survived.
