DoorDash driver narrowly avoids being shot while making delivery in Bucks County

RICHLANDTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) -- A DoorDash driver told Action News that he narrowly avoided being shot while making a delivery over the weekend.

The alleged gunman, 32-year-old Keilan McKeever of Richlandtown, was arrested Monday on charges including attempted homicide.

The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Saturday on the 100 block of Cherry Street.

Khalik Lewis, 19, was the DoorDash driver. He says he's alive by the hair on his head.

"It was through the hood," Lewis said of the bullet. "So I could poke a finger through the hood where it was."

He said when he pulled up to the house, McKeever came outside and appeared angry.

"He said, 'Any reason you're so late?' and I said, 'I don't know?' because I had a DoubleDash," said Lewis, who explained he fulfills deliveries in the order the app tells him to.

Lewis says McKeever was flipping him off and was coming toward his car, so he started honking and tried to get out of there as fast as he could.

"I was just really scared. So I floored it, obviously because he's coming up to my car, in my space," Lewis said.

Police say that's when McKeever fired a shot.

"I heard a shatter of my windshield and it just sounded like it was raining glass," said Lewis.

The bullet lodged in Lewis's sweatshirt. He drove away and called 911, still not knowing exactly what had happened.

"He shot a 9mm gun at me. Bullet. And we found the fragment in my hood and there was a hole in the back of my car," Lewis said.

DoorDash said in a statement, "This is an utterly shocking and senseless act of violence. We're relieved the Dasher wasn't injured and we've reached out to make sure they are okay. We've deactivated the perpetrator's account and will support law enforcement however we can to ensure justice is served."

Lewis says he feels lucky to be alive.

"Just really scared, honestly. I don't ever want to do DoorDash again," Lewis said.

Lewis says the community is rallying around him to help get him a new windshield.

McKeever is being held on $200,000 bail. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for April 3.
