On Sept. 30, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to an armed carjacking and kidnapping at the 7-Eleven gas station on Lem Turner Road.

JSO says Paskel ran from the car and K-9 Fang was sent out after him.

Police say Paskel shot and killed Fang and continued to run, but was caught by officers who had set up a perimeter.
