What happened: A 51-year-old man who was sh0t and klled by a deputy after a pursuit tied to a pizza delivery robbery has been identified as career criminal Gregory Dobkins.
Background: Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office identified Dobkins in an update released Wednesday. He was sh0t Tuesday after a pursuit ended in a crash near Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach, Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said.
The investigation began shortly before 11 p.m. Monday in the 400 block of North K Street in Lake Worth Beach, where robbery detectives responded to a reported robbery.
Dobkins allegedly ordered a pizza using a fictitious name. When the delivery driver arrived, Dobkins approached him, identified himself as the person who placed the order, and claimed he needed change for a $100 bill.
As the driver counted the change, Dobkins allegedly grabbed the cash and ran away. After a verbal altercation with the driver, he fled in a black 2020 Chevrolet Silverado, investigators said.
The driver provided deputies with a description of the truck and its license plate number.
