SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FL — An Uber Eats driver was shot and injured after returning to an apartment complex to see a woman he had met during a delivery, and the man arrested in the attack now also faces drug trafficking charges.
According to WSVN’s account of two arrest reports, deputies arrested Khuslen Saruultuya, 33, in connection with the shooting and subsequently found suspected narcotics and a drug-packaging room in his apartment. Investigators identified him as the woman’s boyfriend.
The driver initially visited the complex early Monday, October 12, to deliver food. He briefly spoke with the woman outside the main lobby and returned about 50 minutes later hoping to see her again and possibly get her phone number, investigators said. He could not find her.
Saruultuya then approached in a gray Corvette, pointed a gun at the driver and ordered him onto the ground, according to the shooting arrest report. Investigators said he fired a shot that grazed the driver’s right buttock, then struck the back of his head with the gun while he remained on the ground, leaving a 2-inch wound.
The report alleges Saruultuya pointed the gun at the driver’s head and threatened to kill him. The woman tried to intervene, pleading with her boyfriend to stop, as he chased the driver around the Corvette while continuing to aim the weapon at him, investigators said.
The driver escaped and drove himself to South Miami Hospital for treatment. Witness information helped deputies identify Saruultuya, who was taken into custody without incident at his Southwest Miami-Dade apartment Monday evening.
A subsequent apartment search uncovered large quantities of suspected cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, marijuana and psilocybin mushrooms, along with hundreds of prescription pills, deputies said. A separate arrest report described an office or laboratory room where investigators alleged drugs were mixed, divided into portions, labeled and packaged.
Deputies also seized approximately $11,394 in cash that investigators believe was connected to drug sales. Saruultuya faces attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charges in the attack, as well as multiple drug trafficking and controlled substance charges arising from the search.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
