The massive manhunt has continued for suspect Patrick McDowell after the 35-year-old allegedly shot the deputy and a K-9 from the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Deputy Joshua Moyers noticed something out of the ordinary and pulled over the vehicle McDowell was driving after he realized the tags did not match up to the car. Moyers proceeded to do what many would in his situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsked him if he had any weapons inside, asked him if he would please step out. The deputy went to grab the handle of the door to open it,\u201d explained Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper. \u201cThe drivers arm came out of the vehicle with a handgun and shot the deputy one time right here. As the deputy fell down, he reached out and shot him in the back.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt is with great sadness that I announce Deputy Josh Moyers has passed away this afternoon, September 26, 2021 at 2:19 PM at UF health in Jacksonville.&nbsp; Please keep Josh\u2019s family and fianc\u00e9 in your thoughts and prayers as we navigate this terrible tragedy.\u201d Sheriff Bill Leeper<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nassau County SO (@NCSO_FL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NCSO_FL\/status\/1442212372396007424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moyers suffered from life threatening injuries and later died on Sunday afternoon. He leaves a fianc\u00e9 and family behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were planning their wedding,\u201d Leeper stated. \u201cI just ask that everybody please keep them in their prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The suspect has been on the run ever since as hundreds of officers have come together to try and find the man who authorities have been calling dangerous and likely to be armed. However, officials discovered this was the type of mission McDowell was trained for as he served in the military and was a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been in combat, so he\u2019s well trained in that. He\u2019s well versed in how to survive,\u201d noted Charlie Wilkie, former JSO K-9 handler. \u201cThat\u2019s the downside for us is that he\u2019s capable of probably surviving out in that wooded area for a number of days.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The reward is now $54,000 for the capture of Patrick McDowell. McDowell could still be in our area, please don&#8217;t let your guard down and call us if you see anything out of the ordinary. 904-225-5174.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Nassau County SO (@NCSO_FL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NCSO_FL\/status\/1442476066367442953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Criminal records have shown McDowell has a past of possessing stolen firearms and according to police, he was driving a stolen car under a false name. One man who spent time with McDowell at the Five Star Veteran Center said he suffered from trauma from his time in the military.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said they have so far found a flashlight and hat possibly linked to McDowell. They have also recovered a gun that was presumed to have been used to shoot the K-9.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, hundreds of law enforcement officers from more than half a dozen agencies remain on the scene.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/israeli-prime-minister-iran-advancing-nuclear-program-funds-terror-groups\/\">Israeli Prime Minister: Iran Advancing Nuclear Program, Funds Terror Groups<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nassau County Sheriff\u2019s Deputy Joshua Moyers is photographed.
