SOUTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) – An Uber Eats delivery driver was shot and pistol-whipped by a woman\u2019s boyfriend after returning to an apartment complex hoping to get her phone number, authorities said.<\/p>\n
According to the arrest report, the victim was delivering food to the apartment complex early Monday morning when he met a woman outside the main lobby.<\/p>\n
During the delivery, the driver briefly spoke with the woman and became interested in her, investigators said.<\/p>\n
About 50 minutes later, the driver returned to the complex hoping to see her again and possibly get her phone number, but he was unable to find her.<\/p>\n
Investigators said 33-year-old Khuslen Saruultuya approached him in a gray Corvette and pointed a gun at him.<\/p>\n
According to the report, Saruultuya ordered the driver to lie on the ground before firing a shot that grazed his right buttock.<\/p>\n
While the victim remained on the ground, Saruultuya allegedly struck him in the back of the head with the gun, causing a 2-inch wound.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Saruultuya then pointed the gun at the victim\u2019s head and threatened, \u201cI am going to kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman attempted to intervene, yelling, \u201cBabe, please stop!\u201d as Saruultuya chased the victim around the Corvette while continuing to point the gun at him, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The driver eventually escaped and drove himself to South Miami Hospital, where he received treatment for his injuries.<\/p>\n
Deputies later identified Saruultuya through witness information. <\/p>\n
He was taken into custody at his Southwest Miami-Dade apartment Monday evening without incident.<\/p>\n
During a subsequent search of his apartment, deputies discovered large quantities of suspected narcotics, including cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, marijuana, psilocybin mushrooms and hundreds of prescription pills.<\/p>\n
According to a separate arrest report, investigators discovered a room being used as an office or laboratory where narcotics were allegedly being mixed, portioned, labeled and packaged.<\/p>\n
Deputies also seized approximately $11,394 in cash, which investigators believe was connected to drug sales.<\/p>\n
Saruultuya faces charges of attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in connection with the shooting, along with multiple drug trafficking and controlled substance charges stemming from the apartment search.<\/p>\n
