Pizza delivery driver robbed and shot in Liberty
1/2
Just seven days ago, Orlando Soto started his job at Domino's Pizza.
He suspected nothing out of the ordinary while making his final delivery for the night on Montrose Street. When he arrived, he was ambushed all of a sudden, by two men.
"They like, give me the wallet! I'm thinking if I wouldn't have grabbed my wallet, they would've shot me in my head," said Soto, explaining what happened. "It's a guy that's approaching me on the side like, move, move, move don't move, don't move give me all your money, give me all your money," he said.
Liberty Township Police say they have some leads but no arrests yet. They tell 21 News it was a setup.
"That person that lives there or did live there, whatever, isn't the person that we believe called," said Chief Toby Meloro of Liberty Township Police Department.
"They ended up pushing me on the floor, and I was curled up, as I'm curled up it was like a pause. It was like a 30 second pause," said Soto "And then I just heard a BAH! And they shot me in my back," he said.
After he was shot, Soto jumped up and drove right back to Domino's for help. All he could think about was his family.
"I just thank God I'm still alive. I can be able to walk, talk to my kids and they can be able to see Daddy smile again," Soto said.
He doesn't plan on returning to work but hopes Domino's will come up with a safe plan for their employees, so this won't happen to anyone else.
