"He's very kind."

His friends and co workers say Sebastian Nunez-Suarez was a quiet, hardworking guy who never bothered anyone. Monday night someone shot the 52 year old limo driver to death behind the wheel of his Lincoln town car as he dropped three passengers off in Feltonville.

"He was a good guy, a working man and stuff like that," said Alex Santana. "He worked for his family. He never got in trouble."

"He's a good person," said another driver. "He's a very good person."

The victim's  brothers came to Condor Car and Limo service, but were too shaken up to speak on camera. Co workers say the native of the Dominican republic was a father and a loving husband who kept to himself on the job. Police believe he was the victim of a robbery .


"We got family here and how we gonna feel if somebody going to come do that to our family member. Father or son," Santana said.

"He's a good guy, a good driver," a co-worker added.

Police and the limo company say Nunez -Suarez picked up passengers at 9th and Hungtingdon just before 11pm, when he got to this Feltonville corner, he was shot in the face, the suspects ran off, but a person of interest was arrested nearby with blood on his clothes. He was taken to the Homicide unit.

"They gonna do some time, hopefully death penalty, but if not at least life," Santana said.

Company officials say Nunez-Suarez was murdered in the same exact car that limo driver Juan Reyes was killed in nearly two years ago. Reyes picture hangs on the wall inside the company's headquarters. Now, sadly, Nunez-Suarez' photo will be placed right next to it.

"He worked all day and all night to support his family. He was a good guy."

As of Wednesday afternoon, police have two people in custody in connection with this murder.  they are still looking for a third.
