BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. (AP) — A Florida man is facing a possible death sentence after being charged with the January slaying of a Lyft driver. Authorities announced Wednesday that Mathew Flores has been indicted on first-degree murder charges for the Jan. 30 killing of 74-year-old Gary Levin. Flores was already a suspect in another Florida killing when he had a friend summon him a Lyft ride in Palm Beach County. Police say Levin drove Flores to the Lake Okeechobee area. They say Flores shot Levin inside the car and then dumped his body in the woods. He then drove Levin’s car to North Carolina, where he was arrest three days later after a high-speed chase. His attorney declined comment.
