A man in Kalamazoo, Michigan has recounted how he rode in the car with the Uber driver who later killed six people.
Matt Mellen, who works at a local brewery, got into the vehicle driven by Jason Dalton shortly before Dalton started randomly killing people around the city.
Mellen said Dalton introduced himself using a different name, before speeding through medians and driving across a lawn.
He wouldn't stop. He just kind of kept looking at me like, 'don't you want to get to your friend's house?
— Matt Mellon, Uber customer
