Uber Eats driver 'dismembered by demonic gangster' before parts found in bags
A "demonic" MS-13 gang member has been charged with slaying and dismembering an Uber Eats driver.
Oscar Solis Jr., 30, from Florida, US, allegedly killed 59-year-old Randall Cooke on Wednesday evening in a vicious and unprovoked attack, according to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco.
Mr Cooke had started his shift on April 19 when he was reported missing by his wife after he stopped responding to her texts at around 7pm.
Officers went to the address of where his last delivery was when a roommate of Mr Solis answered the door.
He gave them a video of Mr Cooke walking to the door to deliver food at 6.55pm on April 19 before it cuts out.
