Khuslen Khan, a 33-year-old fitness influencer with 17,000 followers on Instagram, was taken into custody without incident on Monday, October 12, according to an arrest complaint viewed by People. He was charged with attempted felony murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon in light of the alleged shooting.

The incident took place around 2:35 a.m., when an Uber Eats delivery driver arrived at an apartment building and delivered food to a woman in the lobby. The driver told police he "engaged in a brief conversation" with her and "took a liking to her." However, he wasn't able to find her later and decided to leave after attempting to obtain her phone number.

As the driver approached his vehicle, Khan allegedly gave him loud verbal commands to lie on the ground and pointed a gun at him. Police said that the driver then got on the ground as Khan fired a single round, grazing the victim on his right buttock. After the shot was fired, Khan allegedly struck the driver on the back of the head with the buttstock of the handgun, resulting in a two-inch open wound.

According to the arrest report, the driver heard the woman pleading with Khan and asking him to stop. Khan allegedly chased the driver as the woman attempted to hold him back. The driver managed to leave the scene and drove to a local hospital, where he spoke with authorities as he was treated for his wounds.

Later on, the driver identified Khan as his attacker from a photo array. Authorities learned Khan's license plate information through an anonymous tip submitted after someone witnessed the alleged incident. They tracked him down and arrested him.

After Khan was taken into custody, police searched his apartment to ensure there were no other subjects inside the premises. During the search, officers found a large quantity of white pills, including oxycodone tablets, in plain view. A subsequent search warrant yielded additional controlled substances, including cocaine, ketamine, and psilocybin mushrooms.

Saruultuya claimed that the seized substances were his prescriptions during his court appearance on Tuesday, October 13. His account has been set to private as of Thursday, October 15.
