WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) -- Wilmington police say two men have been arrested in connection with the shooting of a cab driver earlier this month.

Police say Cristofer Jackson of Ellendale and Deronta Persons of Milford have been charged with attempted murder, robbery, conspiracy and weapons offenses.

Authorities say the cab driver responded to a call for a ride in Bear on March 5. Two men asked to be taken to Wilmington. Police say at A and South Walnut streets, the men robbed and shot the driver. They say an unknown person drove the men from the city, and are asking the public for help in finding that person.

The driver remained in critical condition at Christiana Hospital on Tuesday.
