CMPD Charge Two Following Uber Driver’s Disappearance

CHARLOTTE, NC -- Charlotte police have charged two men in the case related to the disappearance of a Charlotte Uber driver who went missing Saturday night after his credit card was used and his vehicle found in Maryland.

Marlo Johnis Medina-Chevez, 44, left his home in the 6900 block of Ayrshire Glen Place Saturday night, May 20 around 9:45 p.m. to pick up a client, but never returned, his wife told police Sunday morning. “Mr. Medina-Chevez’s friends and family have not heard from or seen him and they are extremely concerned,” a CMPD statement said Sunday evening.

Medina-Chevez was driving a 2008 dark blue Nissan Pathfinder with North Carolina tag PDV-4382. He is described as a Hispanic male with black hair and black eyes. He was last seen wearing a grey short sleeve shirt, jeans and sandals.

By Monday, however, homicide detectives took over the search for Medina-Chevez, saying they believe is in “grave danger.” Detectives from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s homicide division traveled to Maryland May 22, where police in Annapolis said they spotted Medina-Chevez’s vehicle on license plate reader near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

Annapolis police stopped the vehicle and detained four occupants, two of whom were later released, CMPD said. The other two occupants -- Diontray Divan Adams, 25, and James Aaron Stevens, 20 -- are currently being interviewed by CMPD.

Adams has been charged with Financial Credit Card Fraud and for warrants outstanding in Maryland. Stevens has been charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.

CMPD released a photo of the vehicle Medina-Chevez was driving:

Police ask that anyone with information about Medina-Chevez call 911 or Crime Stoppers at 704-334-1600.
