GADSDEN CO., FL – “The monster got what he deserved after taking the lives of two innocent people and injuring three others,” said Gadsden County Sheriff Morris Young following the tragic actions of one man the night of Feb. 6 at a Quincy gas station.
A 23-year-old delivery man and the store’s 33-year-old clerk were shot to death during the robbery at the Mobile Station on Pat Thomas Parkway in Quincy last Thursday night. As he ran from the store, the shooter fired at two people in a car in the parking lot, injuring them both before speeding off in a stolen rental car. Hours later, he was confronted by law enforcement officers in Columbia County, where he crashed and fled the scene on foot.
The man believed responsible for two murders and shooting three others, including a law enforcement officer, following a hold up at a Quincy gas station, has been identified as 44-year-old Dominic Caroway of Avondale, AZ.
Early Friday morning, a report of a suspicious person kept law enforcement officers near the scene of the crash. The suspect was located nearby and was killed following an exchange of gunfire. One deputy who was injured survived a shot in the chest, thanks to his body armor. The same deputy was also shot in the foot.
The killer has been identified as 44-year-old Dominic Caroway, 44, of Avondale, Arizona. His identification was confirmed by use of biometric identification, AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System), facial recognition technology along with Arizona Dept. Of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division databases, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
“This type of criminal behavior has to stop and with the help of federal, state and local law enforcement partners will be stopped,” the sheriff said, noting that criminal behavior of this nature can send shock waves of fear into a small community like Gadsden.
The sheriff added, “No one should or will have to live in fear while living, visiting or working in Gadsden!”
