The Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office says the suspect accused of shooting four people, leaving two of the victims dead during a robbery at the Mobil station on Pat Thomas Parkway in Quincy last week, is 44-year-old Dominic Caroway of Avondale, Arizona.
GCSO confirmed Caroway’s identity on Monday by use of biometric identification, AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System), facial recognition technology, along with Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division databases.
“This type of criminal behavior has to stop and with the help of federal, state and local law enforcement partners will be stopped,” a GCSO spokesperson said Monday.
Authorities shot and killed Caroway Friday morning around 9 a.m., in what Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office say happened during an “exchange of gunfire” with SWAT.
The shootout took place in Live Oak after the suspect led several law enforcement agencies on a manhunt moments before.
During the pursuit, the Arizona man shot a Suwannee County deputy, who is still recovering with non-life threatening injuries.
Sheriff Young said in a statement Monday that the suspect “got what he deserved after taking the lives of innocent people and injuring three others.”
According to Young, the suspect appears to have committed the crimes acting alone and independent of others, with no known affiliations.
