Human Remains Found Near Where Lyft Driver From Philadelphia Went Missing

UPDATE: Levin's daughter revealed that he died. New details here.

Law enforcement officials have told NBC5 West Palm Beach, that human remains were found near where Philadelphia Lyft driver, Gary Levin went missing.

A spokesperson for the Okeechobee County Sheriff's Office told the station that a body was found early Saturday off Northeast 40th Terrace and State Road 70 in a wooded area near the Okeechobee County Agri-Civic Center in the northeast section of the city.

The remains have not yet been identified. An autopsy is pending.

Levin, 74, has been missing since Monday.

He was last seen on security cameras, police said, walking into a WaWa in Boynton Beach, Florida.

Later that day, officials claim, his car was spotted in Miami, then in rural parts of Lake Okeechobee and in North Florida.

Levin's vehicle was discovered last week being driven by an individual who was wanted for murder.

The Associated Press reported that Levin's red 2022 Kia Stinger was stopped after a police chase in North Carolina.

Law enforcement officials told the AP that Matthew Flores, 35 -- a suspect in a slaying that occurred in Florida on Jan. 24 -- was arrested after a chase with police on Thursday.

Levin had been living in Palm Beach Gardens in Florida, but, NBC10 has learned that he was a lifelong resident of Philadelphia who had only moved to the Sunshine State a couple of years ago.

Levin grew up along McKinley Street in Mayfair. Later, he moved to Richboro in Bucks County where he raised his family and ran a business called, Gary Levin Wholesale.

Levin's son, John, told NBC10 their family tradition was following the Eagles. He said he talked to his father just last weekend about how much they were looking forward to watching the Super Bowl.

In a statement Friday, the ride share company Lyft said that it is cooperating with law enforcement officials.

“Our thoughts are with Mr. Levin’s family and loved ones during this deeply concerning time. We’ve been in touch with his family to offer our support, as well as with law enforcement to assist with their investigation," said the company, in a statement.
