In one of the most callous and senseless deaths we have reported on, an Arizona man browsed the Uber app like he was shopping, looking for a driver that he could kill in order to "blow off steam".
18-year-old Sheliky Sanchez (pictured below) is being charged with homicide, armed robbery, and tampering with evidence. The details of the investigation that led to his arrest are deeply troubling.
At approximately 3 a.m. on August 7th, Albuquerque Police responded to a location after receiving an alert from a gunshot detection device. When officers arrived on the scene, they found Joseph Andurs deceased in the roadway. He had been slain execution style in the street.
Detectives began to investigate the death and quickly learned that Andurs was an Uber driver, and his last fare was ordered by Sanchez's girlfriend around 1 a.m. in the morning.
After learning this information, police arrived at Sanchez's girlfriends home, where they discovered Andurs Black Ford Escape in the driveway.
Both Sanchez and his girlfriend were taken into custody. When questioned, Sanchez's girlfriend told detectives he had asked her to order him an Uber so that he could go pick up a car from a friend.
When detectives questioned Sanchez, he reportedly told police he had never used Uber before. When asked about the deceased man's car in his girlfriend's driveway, he claimed he had paid cash for the car.
However, after additional questions, Sanchez came clean and admitted to taking the life of Joseph Andurs due to "being stressed" and needing to "blow off steam."
He went on to elaborate, detailing his sick plans. He said he had browsed through ride share drivers looking for the "perfect victim".
Sanchez told authorities that he and Andurs talked throughout the ride and that he thought Joseph was "really cool."
Sadly, despite thinking Joseph Andurs was kind and really cool, Sheliky Sanchez was not going to be dissuaded from carrying out his evil plan.
After arriving at an arbitrary location he had selected as his drop-off point, Sanchez ordered Jospeh out of the car. He then forced him to lay face down on the roadway before shooting him in the back of the head and stealing his car.
Sheliky Sanchez is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Joseph Andurs whose life was stolen from him in such a sick and heartless fashion.
