PHOTOS RELEASED OF SUSPECT'S TRUCK
The Walton
County Sheriff's Office has released photographs of a murder suspect's pickup
truck. Thomas McCoy Junior of Laurel Hill is wanted in connection with the
shooting of a Baker Man Friday at Northwest Florida State College's Chautauqua
Center in Defuniak Springs.
Law enforcement
officials are hoping the public can use the photographs of the Dodge truck and
rear window decal to help locate McCoy, who is facing an open count of homicide.
McCoy's license plate number is L929RF.
Investigators say
anyone who spots the vehicle, or has information on McCoy's whereabouts, should
phone their nearest local law enforcement agency or call 850-951-4711. Do not
attempt to make contact with McCoy, who is considered armed and dangerous.
The victim, 38-year
old Curtis Brown, was working on a
vending machine at the Chautauqua Center Friday when he was shot in the chest.
