Hi

PSYCHO KILLER &/OR UBER DRIVER: TODAY I CALLED LYFT & REQUESTED SHARE, FOR SAFETY. SMILING DUDE IN CLEAN TOYOTA COROLLA; BUT I FREAKED WHEN THE CHILD LOCKS CLICKED UN AP NPR ESPN TMZ BBCWORLD LATIMES NYDAILYNEWS RUESTJACQUES RIP SWEET USC STUDENT

Very sad 😢

nothing good after midnight.....hope he gets death penalty

READ THETWEETS no1calling killer animal BUT judging her judgment 4 getting in car THATS FINE but call him what he is IF SHE WAS ONE OF YOUR CHILDREN derange freaking animal!

SICKING show killers face MAKE YOU VOMIT 2 THINK THATS FACE SHE HAD 2 LOOK ATBEGGING 4 HER LIFE last night on FOX8 had huge black man WHO RAPED 5 YEAR OLD got him on camera trying 2 run after BUS 2 BOARD turn around looked my grandaughter & started crying DAMM ANIMAL

E

so she gets in the wrong car and the driver thinks his next best course of action is to kill her? What kind of person would do such a thing?

My thoughts are with her family and friends. I never knew Samantha, but the world lost a young beautiful talented person. The person who did this to the family must pay. Life for a life

😞 Terrible

chelseabennett_

it is too bad and shamefull

My deepest condolences for victim family, but people please check license plate number before you ride in , the information is there on app. It's a must even if you drink. RIP

You drink too much and get in to a random car without looking at the app to confirm the license plate, model and color of the car & ask the driver who is this ride for but you still blame Uber & Lyft.

Prayers for her family and friends. Quick ...ok not so quick death to her killer.

This is why the taxi industry was regulated to have OBVIOUSE signage clearly identifying the vehicle as a commercial taxi.

Anyone that uses uber is an idiot, or any so called ride share that really isn't sharing a ride at all.

Hmm, she gets into a car that isn't an Uber but Uber is to blame? Terrible tragedy but even worse logic.

Very sad.

This is why every young woman needs a firearm and know how to use it. colddeadhands comeandtakeit 2A SecondAmendment livefreeordie donttreadonme

Heartbreaking. I am just glad that law enforcement caught the person that did this.

Such a shame. A beautiful life gone for no good reason.

So....it wasn't her Uber driver? Case closed, Sully

As my I ride the Uber car fast and I forget ask about the name I just said are you Uber sometimes I have many bigs haevy , box's Uber company must provide his driver's something ID specific for them or even specific plate in the top of car ,, we need protect Uber😠😠😠😠😠😠😠

Why only part of the name of the driver ? And Jean seems like a real gouhl.

So...what's the story here? Unfortunate event, and the psycho that murdered her doesn't deserve to live, but why is this being plastered all over social media and the rest of the internet for that matter?

Nail him to wall and throw darts at him. Or we could just give him the American dream of free stuff for life and he don't even have to work for it. Thats how we deal with our killers in this country.

Not a fan of Uber but cmon people

Damn!🤦🏾‍♂️

Horrid what she went through.

My heart breaks for her family.

We need stronger knife laws, apparently.

Its only news because she is hot. She is dead thats horrible

Never go in a car with someone you don’t morning n peace

'Multiple sharp force injuries'? So she was stabbed? Or is this word salad something else entirely?

This story really bothers me in a number of ways. I feel so sorry for her family and it’s horrible that a young lady with her whole life in front of her was taken away. I’m glad they got her alleged killer and if guilty, he deserves the harshest punishment.

So Sad...

There are no safety precautions with Uber, its a disaster waiting to happen. As children we're taught to never take rides with strangers yet thats what Uber is all about. Uber needs to go, if this was a real taxi company there would have been better safety guards in place

OMG May her soul rest in perfect peace

Stabs ?

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

themelaniedione maleviolence is a pandemic.

Why, why why did this happen. It's just too awful.

Such a sad story. Sending prayers and love to her loved ones. RIP 😔❤️

Such a tragedy. Our hearts go out her loved ones. Beautiful girl.

That’s terrible

Stop blaming the victim. Get that pyschopath femicide make him pay. notoneless stopkillingus femicide

HU KILLED STUDENTS IN .UBER CAR ..HU IS BEHIND THE AMERICAN STUDENTS MURDER

They were in the area..looking for Khashoggi.. - U of South Carolina student found dead after getting into a car she thought was her Uber Turkey hunters found her body 14 hours later in field, ~90 miles away

While we know it is another interracial Murder, we dont know if race played a part in the extreme violence used to kill her or why he was stupid enough to be two blocks from the pickup point in the same car with blood evidence in the car and trunk.

So sad a beautiful young girl with her lifetime before her. Rip thoughts with family & Friends !!!

Notice how CNN won’t show the alleged killer in this story but is happy to when it fits their race narrative.

Would like to know HOW she thought it was an Uber... That's kind of important to know... especially if there are impostures driving around... CNN just may want to dig a little more.

Why doesn’t our justice system just feed this guy to a shark?!

My Condolences to the family and loved ones...so heart wrenching. He deserves life with no parole!!!

Momma always said, 'Don't get into cars with strangers.'

and we need to know these details because

Heartbreaking may she rest in paradise

Doesn’t the app tell you the make, model, and license plate number of the car picking you up? I don’t know how anyone could mistakenly get into the wrong car

This whole Uber/Lyft platform has become the new sexual predator/murderer contact venue. Sue their asses out of business and go back to regulated and licensed taxis.

No gun was used

Awful 💔

So sad.

She got into the car of an insane killer. But he wasn’t an Uber driver. So Uber seems guilty here by association but there are precautions. They do provide the name, picture of the driver, make/model of car and license plate number. Don’t ever get in any other random vehicle.

This is what happenes when yall don’t know what a Toyota Corolla looks like

😥

Her makeup is horrible

Bruh I’m done. He deserves a death sentence

I dont believe you. I'll confirm from a reliable source.

I am actually pretty nervous or probably scared of getting into a vehicle that is not an Uber when I call an Uber considering I can't see very well

May she rest in peace

Uber should have signs on their cars or windows for precaution measures.

Confirm the license plate before getting in!

This is such a sad ending...sorry to hear This..prayers for the family

A terrible tragedy!

So sad and absolutely disgusting. Did the guy kill her just because she mistook his car for an Uber. That’s an easy mistake. The world is crazy.

Ride sharing still a good idea?

So... she was stabbed to death?
