Authorities have identified the man who shot five people, killing two and injuring a deputy, in a horrific incident last week that spanned several counties in North Florida and led to a massive manhunt by police.
Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff Morris Young identified the killer as a 44-year-old man from Avondale, Arizona. The sheriff’s office said his name was Caroway Dominic, but court and public records say his name is Dominic Carroway.
“Dominic appears to have committed his heinous crimes as a ‘lone wolf’ (criminal acting alone and independent of others with no known affiliations),” the Sheriff’s Office said in a Monday Facebook post.
The Sheriff’s Office said his identity was confirmed through biometric identification, AFIS, the Automated Fingerprint Identification System, facial recognition technology and state of Arizona motor vehicle databases.
“Sheriff Young stated that the monster got what he deserved after taking the lives of innocent people and injuring three others,” the Sheriff’s Office said in the post. He added that “this type of criminal behavior has to stop” and with the help of federal, state and local law enforcement, it “will be stopped.”
“Sheriff Young stated that criminal behavior of this nature can send shock waves of fear into a small community like Gadsden,” the Sheriff’s Office said.. Lastly, Sheriff Young stated that no one should or will have to live in fear while living, visiting or working in Gadsden!!
Dominic Caroway, 44, of Avondale, Arizona, shot five people and killed in an incident that began with an armed robbery of a Gadsden County gas station and ended with police fatally shooting him in Live Oak.
The man robbed the Mobil Gas Station and Food Mart on Friday afternoon, shooting four people, killing the cashier, Laura Darley, and a beer distributor, Julian Green of Tallahassee, and injuring two customers outside. He fled the scene, prompting a multi-agency manhunt by state and local law enforcement agencies.
After a fleeing the scene, he led deputies, state troopers and other agencies on a chase early Saturday that ended with a crash in Suwannee County. After shooting and injuring a deputy and running away, he was killed in a confrontation with Live Oak police.
