PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A suspect charged with murder and other offenses in the slaying and dismemberment of an Uber Eats driver faces a possible death penalty.
Prosecutors said Monday they would pursue the death penalty against Oscar Adrian Solis Jr., 30.
Solis was indicted on one count of first-degree murder and one count of abuse of a dead body, according to court documents.
Bryan Sarabia, a prosecutor with the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s Office, told our news partner Tampa Bay Times, “I cannot focus on how an individual can be so vile.”
Solis Jr. is charged with killing the driver during a delivery April 19 at a home in Holiday.
The remains were found at the house in trash bags and a cooler, which also contained a receipt with Solis’ name on it, according to a police affidavit.
Sheriff Chris Nocco called the killing “demonic.”
The victim had been reported missing by his wife after he never came home from his Uber Eats deliveries.
