The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the shooting death of 34-year-old Jason Boek of Buchanan Drive in Winter Haven, that occurred around 2:20 a.m. on Tuesday, August 28, 2018, on Dundee Road in unincorporated Polk County.
The Uber, a Hyundai Elantra being driven by 38-year-old Robert Westlake of Lake Wales, picked the passenger up and headed westbound on Dundee Road.
Westlake told deputies that he believed the driver of the truck (later identified as Boek) was trying to run him off the road.
He does not know Boek, and the Uber passenger does not know him either.
Deputies obtained a search warrant for the truck Boek was driving and recovered a marijuana cigarette and a glass pipe containing meth residue.
