A Florida man<\/a> previously indicted for murder has been formally charged in the shooting death of a Palm Beach Lyft driver earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Mathew Scott Flores, 36, who is accused of killing 43-year-old Jose Carlos Martinez on Jan. 24 in Hardee County, was indicted by an Okeechobee grand jury in connection with the death of 74-year-old Lyft driver Gary Levin, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced.<\/p>\n

He is charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm, robbery with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.<\/p>\n

Flores was found driving Levin’s red 2022 Kia Stinger in North Carolina on Feb. 2 while agents were investigating him in the death of Martinez, FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

ELDERLY FLORIDA LYFT DRIVER, PREVIOUSLY REPORTED MISSING, CONFIRMED DEAD<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Florida authorities said Flores was connected to a vehicle stolen out of Orange County that was found in Lake Worth, which is where an acquaintance ordered him a Lyft ride to Okeechobee that was picked up by Levin. Flores is accused of shooting and killing<\/a> Levin inside the car.<\/p>\n

Levin was reported missing out of south Florida after he became “unreachable” on Jan. 30. His body was found in a wooded lot in Okeechobee County by FDLE agents on Feb. 4.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Levin’s body had been cruelly dumped in a wooded area. His murder was cold. It was senseless and completely unnecessary,” FDLE’s Eli Lawson said during a Wednesday news conference. “Mr. Levin was a beloved member of the community here in Palm Beach. He\u2019s a father and a friend. His loved ones have experience insurmountable grief. No one should ever have to go through that.”<\/p>\n

JUDGE ORDERS MENTAL EVALUATION FOR MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY KILLED A FL LYFT DRIVER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The FDLE said Levin’s car was spotted in Miami, Okeechobee and Gainesville after his disappearance. It was ultimately stopped in North Carolina on Feb. 2 after a U.S. Marshals regional task force notified authorities to be on the lookout.<\/p>\n

Flores, who was driving the car, allegedly led police on a chase through three counties before they ran him off the road, causing the vehicle to crash. He was arrested in Rutherford County, North Carolina,<\/a> and charged with multiple crimes, but prosecutors dropped the charges so Florida authorities could pursue the murder allegations against him, Law & Crime reported.<\/p>\n

He was extradited to Florida last month to face the charges in connection with Martinez’s murder,<\/a> which include first-degree murder, grand theft auto, possession of a firearm by a felon, and tampering with evidence, according to court records.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
