According to court documents, on August 8, 2020, Victim 1 contacted Lucas, who had listed a vehicle for sale under a fictitious name, on the internet-based marketplace OfferUp.
On Aug. 23, 2020, according to court documents, a separate victim met Lucas after he had listed an iPhone 11 on Facebook Marketplace.
