Arrest could be coming in the BP gas station shooting – police

October 10th, 2008 |

By Lanetra Bennett, WCTV

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – Quincy Police say an arrest could be coming soon in this week’s robbery and shooting of a convenience store owner Wondwessen Gizaw.

As business continues at the BP at the corner of Highway 90 and Ward Street in Quincy, the police chief says he’s close to getting a warrant in hand.

Three men are wanted for robbing and shooting the store owner Wondwossen Gizaw early Tuesday morning.

Gizaw, a native of Ethiopia, is still recovering from three gunshot wounds.

Tanesha Hall is one of Gizaw’s regular customers. She said, “It’s a disappointment how someone would try to rob him. Basically we know it’s young people and they know how he is. Why would you want to take from somebody like that?”

The chief says the men were black, wearing black clothes, red gloves and masks. He also says they may have a person of interest.

Anyone with information, call (850) 671-7681.
