The Pasco County man accused of killing and dismembering an Uber Eats driver who was making a delivery in Holiday has been indicted on one count of first-degree murder and one count of abuse of a dead body, court dockets show.

Bryan Sarabia, a prosecutor with the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s Office, is assigned to the case, and he plans to seek the death penalty for Oscar Adrian Solis Jr., 30. He said he and his boss, State Attorney Bruce Bartlett, discussed it before Bartlett made the decision.
