Oscar Adrian Solis, 30, of Holiday, a convicted felon with ties to the MS-13 gang, is being held in the Pasco County Jail without bond after he allegedly murdered and then dismembered Uber Eats delivery driver Randall Cooke who was delivering to his house in Holiday.
In a news conference Tuesday, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said the driver was reported missing on April 19 after he abruptly stopped answering his wife’s texts.

“He was a guy like everybody else, just trying to make a living for his family,” Nocco said.
Cooke was last heard from at around 6:30 p.m., according to the sheriff’s office. He called his wife and told her he had one last delivery to make before heading home and then vanished.
Uber Eats provided detectives with the driver’s last known location, a house in the 3400 block of Moog Road. The sheriff’s office said one of the home’s occupants was Oscar Adrian Solis, 30, a convicted felon with ties to the MS-13 gang.
Deputies obtained home security footage from Solis’ roommate, which showed the driver walking up to the home. The motion-detecting camera abruptly went dark just moments later, at 6:45 p.m., according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
The following day, Solis was reportedly caught on camera walking around the house with another man, both carrying trash bags. An arrest affidavit states that one of the men appeared to be dragging a heavy bag across the ground as he walked.
Nocco said “several” bags were found to contain the remains of the missing delivery driver.
According to the arrest affidavit, Solis’ roommate heard “loud noises” coming from his room at approximately 2 a.m. According to detectives, Solis was later seen with minor cuts on his hands and arms.
In the following days, detectives scoured the neighborhood for evidence to build their case against Solis. Blood was found in several areas of the home. The driver’s car was later found abandoned about a quarter mile away from the house with “blood-soaked rags and paper towels, along with a red DoorDash bag similar to the one the driver was observed carrying.

Investigators believe that the driver was delivering a food order for Solis’ father when Solis pulled the delivery driver inside and allegedly murdered him.
He was charged with murder while committing a robbery after the driver’s wedding ring and car keys were allegedly found in Solis’ possession.
The arrest report stated that an unidentified person told detectives Solis asked them to throw the garbage bags in a construction dumpster in Pinellas County, according to the arrest report, but they refused.
Sheriff Nocco said detectives are working to determine a motive for the alleged murder.
“This is demonic,” Nocco said. “What he did was demonic, but at the same time, we couldn’t answer the question ‘Why?’.”
The Pasco County Sheriff’s Office is searching for a man and woman who reportedly left Solis’ home shortly before the alleged murder and may have information that can help the investigation. Anyone with information about these individuals is asked to call the Pasco Sheriff’s Crime Tips Line at 1-800-706-2488.
