\nLouisville Metro police have arrested a man in the robbery and assault of a rideshare driver.<\/p>\n
Quishawn Walker, 22, of Louisville, is charged with robbery, wanton endangerment-discharging a firearm, assault and unlawful imprisonment.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest warrant, on October 19, 2025, Walker was in a rideshare vehicle that he had ordered through an app when he got into an argument with the driver. Walker then pulled out a handgun and struck the driver in the face and upper body using the handle of a handgun and his hands. When the rideshare driver tried to end the trip, Walker threatened to shoot him if he didn\u2019t take him to his home.<\/p>\n
Once they had reached Walker\u2019s home, the warrant states that Walker demanded the driver\u2019s money and struck him in the head. During a scuffle outside the vehicle, one round was fired from the gun. Neither man was struck by the gunfire, but both men fled from the location and the victim called police.<\/p>\n
Walker was taken into custody on February 4, 2026. He was scheduled to be arraigned on February 5.<\/p>\n
In addition to the charges in this case, Walker was also arraigned on an assault-domestic violence charge.
