A New Orleans Police Department employee who was driving for Uber in her time off was stabbed to death by a passenger, and a suspect has been arrested, authorities said.

Yolanda Dillion, 54, picked up an Uber passenger in New Orleans and drove to the adjacent Jefferson Parish, according to parish Sheriff Joseph Lopinto. When the ride ended, the passenger “stabbed repeatedly before leaving the vehicle,” Lopinto’s office said Friday. Someone reported the stabbing to authorities just before 3 p.m. Thursday, and sheriff’s deputies found Dillion wounded in the vehicle in a hotel’s parking lot. She was taken to a hospital, where she died, the sheriff’s office said.

Dillion was a financial budget analyst for the New Orleans Police Department, and worked as an Uber driver in her time off, Lopinto said. The police department’s fiscal unit is “taking it pretty hard,” New Orleans Police Superintendent Shaun Ferguson said at a news conference with Lopinto on Friday. “She will be dearly missed,” Ferguson said. Uber is “extremely disturbed by this senseless attack,” a company spokesperson told CNN in an email Friday.
