QUINCY, FLORIDA – The suspected getaway car used in last week’s shooting of a BP gas station owner in Quincy has been found, said Quincy Police Department Chief Ferman Richardson.

The blue Mercury Grand Marquis was found Monday afternoon at Cascade Trailer Park in Tallahassee.

BP manager Wondwossen Gizaw, a native of Ethiopia, was shot three times a little after midnight Oct. 7. Three men robbed him as he was closing the Quincy store. He was shot in the arm, the leg and the chest.

He co-owns the BP gas station at 504 W. Jefferson St. in Quincy.

Richardson said the driver of the car was not found, but the vehicle is being analyzed at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s crime lab.

Richardson said Quincy police are still looking for the shooters and are soliciting community assistance.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hot line at 574-TIPS or (888) 876-TIPS.
