A Florida man previously indicted for murder has been formally charged in the shooting death of a Palm Beach Lyft driver earlier this year.

He is charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm, robbery with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Flores was found driving Levin's red 2022 Kia Stinger in North Carolina on Feb. 2 while agents were investigating him in the death of Martinez
