Murder Suspect from Sunnyvale Captured in Mississippi – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth

A year after a deadly ambush in Sunnyvale, new developments have emerged in the case. Surveillance footage showed a man in a mask firing at a parked car, killing Tyesha Merritt and injuring her brother and his three children. Last week, one suspect, Quantavius Gomillia, was captured in Mississippi and charged with murder. Sunnyvale Police Chief Bill Vegas explained that the shooting was a targeted attack stemming from a previous incident. The suspect had been communicating with a detective but fled to Mississippi when the communication stopped. The chief credited the detective and collaboration with other law enforcement agencies for cracking the case. The victims’ families, especially the children who were injured, expressed relief that ‘the bad guy’ was caught. Vegas highlighted the children’s physical recovery, emphasizing that all three are now thriving. However, the search for the second suspect is ongoing. Authorities urge anyone with information to contact North Texas Crime Stoppers. Despite the tragic events, the community is thankful for the relentless efforts of law enforcement in bringing closure to this case.
