Filip Kirilov, a 29-year-old Uber driver from Destin, Florida, was found dead in his minivan on Okaloosa Island on June 24, 2018. His body was discovered in the driver’s seat with the engine running; he had been shot three times. A passerby spotted the van stopped in an intersection at about 6:30 a.m., reported blood on the floor and a bullet hole in the window, and called 911. The shooting is reported to have occurred around 4:37 a.m.

Investigators say surveillance from the van captured audio of a rider instructing Kirilov where to stop, followed by gunshots and the rider running away. The probe led to the arrest of 35-year-old Timothy Layne Anderson, a former Destin taxi driver, who was charged with first-degree premeditated murder. Authorities allege Anderson used a burner phone bought at a local Walmart 11 days earlier and hailed the ride under the alias Joe Smith. Anderson was located at a Destin McDonald’s and held without bond.

Anderson was later declared incompetent to stand trial and ordered to the Florida State Hospital for competency evaluation. Filip’s family remembered him as hardworking and kind; he supported his wife, Kalina, and worked multiple jobs. Does anyone have information about Filip’s movements that morning or saw the van before it was found?
