A man in Florida has been arrested and charged with the “gruesome” murder and dismemberment of an Uber Eats driver that was delivering his order, according to authorities.
On April 21, an Uber Eats driver was out delivering orders in Holiday, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim had been texting with his wife and was supposed to come home after dropping off his deliveries, but he never came home and he stopped responding to his wife’s text messages, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said at a press conference.
The victim’s remains were found at a home in Holiday, which was the location of his last delivery, Nocco said.
Investigators obtained surveillance video from the suspect’s roommate, which showed the victim delivering the order and then the video cutting off, police said. His dismembered remains were found in trash bags around the side of the home.
Deputies arrested 30-year-old Oscar Adrian Solis and charged him with homicide while engaged in a robbery, in addition to felony parole violation related to charges in the state of Indiana, officials said.
