While the Sheriff’s Office is still sifting through evidence and tips in the Monday night shooting of a cab driver; the cab company is making policy changes.

This morning C&C owner Willie Cromer said nighttime passengers can now expect to have their picture taken when they get into one of his cabs.

He hopes the pictures will be able to help police if something like Monday night’s shooting were to ever happen again.

Also, the cab company has started putting two people in its cabs at night instead of a single driver.

Monday night around 11 p.m., cab driver Macedonia Gallman, 23, picked up two men near Newberry Academy. The two passengers asked to go to Belfast Road.

Sheriff’s Deputy Rusty Fulmer had been helping to remove a tree that fell near Chappells when he spotted a C&C cab go by. When the call came to deputies that the cab driver was missing he started a hunt for Gallman.

Fulmer found the driver lying in a ditch near Highway 56 and Mudlick Road.

Gallman had been shot twice.

As Sheriff’s Lt. Garrett Lominack was responding to back up Fulmer, he spotted the taxi in a ditch near the intersection of Belfast and Belmont

Church roads. But the suspects were nowhere around and could not be tracked by bloodhounds.

Gallman was taken to Palmetto Health Richland where he was in critical condition.

Cromer said this morning that he heard Gallman is breathing on his own and able to make hand gestures to communicate with others.

Foster says investigators are still working with evidence in the case and taking tips, but no arrests have been made.
