The passengers tried to evade paying the fare and also assaulted and attempted to rob the driver, police said.
Gyimah chased after them and that's when he fell and struck his head. He suffered a severe head wound and was taken to St. John's Hospital where he died.
Neighbors in Edgemere are furious and hope the five people responsible for Gyimah's death don't get away with it. "You're going to jail for sure. What do you think, that the police are going to let you go now because you've just killed somebody? You're going to jail. So you might as well stop running and come over to the precinct and sit down identified," Dennis Jenkins said.
As police continue to look for the five suspects, the New York State Federation of Taxi Drivers is offering a reward for information leading to their arrests. That reward is currently up to $15,000.
