A man who police say was driving the car of a dead South Florida<\/a> Lyft driver was charged with murder and other counts Tuesday in a separate case.<\/p>\n

A grand jury in Hardee County indicted Matthew Flores, 35, on charges of first-degree murder<\/a>, grand theft auto, possession of a firearm by a felon and tampering with evidence, according to court records.<\/p>\n

The indictment relates to the Jan. 24 fatal shooting of 43-year-old Jose Carlos Martinez in Wauchula. Police were actively searching for Flores in that case by Jan. 30, when Lyft driver Gary Levin, 74, went missing after dropping off a customer in Okeechobee, a small city north of Florida\u2019s Lake Okeechobee and about 70 miles east of Wauchula.<\/p>\n

Levin\u2019s red 2022 Kia Stinger was spotted in Miami, Okeechobee and Gainesville in north Florida after his disappearance. The vehicle was stopped Feb. 2 in North Carolina<\/a>, where a U.S. Marshals regional task force asked authorities to be on the lookout. Flores, who was driving the car, was arrested following a police chase through three counties, officials said. A dead body found in Okeechobee after Levin went missing was eventually identified as the driver.<\/p>\n

Flores was being held in North Carolina on a $2 million bond with a hearing scheduled for Wednesday. He will eventually be returned to Florida. It was not known whether Flores had a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
