Dec 12, 2012, 1:46 PM | Updated: 1:46 pm

A reward is being offered for information on an August incident that ended with a taxi cab driver shot in the face.

On Aug. 13, the victim picked up a male and a female near 28th Dr. and Sweetwater about 5 a.m. and took them to the Studio 6 Motel, located at 18405 N. 27th Ave.

When the cab arrived, the suspects argued with the driver about the fare and the driver was shot. The suspects then fled the scene.

The driver sustained serious — but not life-threatening — injuries to his jaw.

Police are currently seeking two unidentified people, pictured below, who were in the immediate area of the shooting and may have information on the crime. The two also match a general description of the suspects.

Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact Silent Witness at (480) WITNESS.

We want to hear from you.
