BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man already charged with murder has been indicted for the killing of a Lyft driver whose car he allegedly stole in an attempt to escape, authorities announced Wednesday.
An Okeechobee County grand jury this week indicted Mathew Flores with first-degree murder and armed robbery for the Jan. 30 slaying of 74-year-old Gary Levin.
Flores is being held without bail on both murder charges.
Levin's body was found five days after his slaying by investigators who retraced his ride with Flores, Lawson said.
Lawson said that because Flores was in custody for the Martinez slaying, there was no need to bring charges quickly in the Levin case.
