Steven Charlostin was 21 when he was found dead in the driver’s seat of a stolen car in Mount Dora, Florida, on July 22, 2017. The vehicle had been reported stolen from Tampa and was still running; Charlostin’s right foot was on both the gas and brake pedals and his seat was reclined so no one could have been seated behind him. An autopsy showed two gunshot wounds to the head, with the bullets believed to have come from the back right of the vehicle.

Investigators recovered a Glock on the rear passenger floorboard with ammunition matching the fatal bullets, and ten .45-caliber bullets in the car that were determined to have been fired from the front passenger side. A blood trail led from the vehicle to a nearby driveway where 24-year-old Rashad Bishop Charles Findley was found bleeding with two chest gunshot wounds. Findley was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Surveillance video placed Findley in a similar vehicle four hours earlier wearing the same clothes, and he was described as a known gang member with multiple felony convictions; he was not cooperative with investigators.

What details or leads about the events that night might help explain how Charlostin ended up alone in the driver’s seat of that stolen car?
