Manderis Seagraves is charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, second-degree damage to property and possession of marijuana under one ounce, according to police. Officers also seized a firearm from him.

The shooting happened just before 7 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of York Avenue SW, where officers found a 42-year-old man suffering from gunshot wounds. The driver was alert when he was taken to a hospital, police said.

Investigators linked the gunfire to an earlier dispute in the 1000 block of Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard, where the victim was driving Seagraves as a passenger. When the driver tried to leave the vehicle, Seagraves fired several shots at the car, striking the driver, police said.

The case remains under investigation. Anyone with information is asked to contact Atlanta police.

The shooting highlights the risks faced by rideshare and delivery drivers who work alone and often carry passengers they have never met. Driver safety has been a recurring concern for gig workers in Atlanta and nationally, with advocates pressing companies for stronger background checks, in-app emergency features and de-escalation training.
