A fitness influencer has been accused of shooting an Uber Eats delivery driver after he returned to an apartment complex hoping to get his girlfriend’s phone number.
Khuslen Saruultuya, 33, who goes by Khuslen Khan online, allegedly ordered the driver to lie on the ground before shooting him in the buttock and hitting him over the head with a gun.
According to an arrest report, the driver had delivered food to the Pearl Dadeland Apartments in Miami-Dade, Florida, at around 2.35am on Monday, October 12.

He briefly spoke to a woman outside the building’s main lobby before leaving, as reported by Need To Know.
The driver later returned, hoping to see the woman again and possibly get her number, but was unable to find her.
As he walked back to his vehicle, Saruultuya allegedly approached in a grey Chevrolet Corvette and pointed a handgun at him.
The driver was ordered to lie on the ground, before a shot allegedly grazed his right buttock.
Saruultuya then allegedly struck him on the back of the head with the gun, leaving a two-inch wound.
The driver told investigators that Saruultuya subsequently pointed the weapon at his head and threatened to kill him.
The woman’s boyfriend allegedly chased the driver around the Corvette while continuing to point the gun at him, as the woman tried to intervene.
The driver managed to escape and drove himself to South Miami Hospital for treatment.
A witness reportedly told a responding Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy about an altercation involving a man with a gun who left in a two-door sports car.
Investigators traced the vehicle’s registration to Saruultuya, and the driver later identified him in a photo line-up, according to the arrest report.
Saruultuya was arrested and charged with attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
He also faces separate drug-related charges after investigators allegedly found suspected narcotics and cash at his home.
