Police have identified the suspected gunman as Anthony George Davis Jr., a recent parolee who may be driving a blue Nissan, the station reports. He is considered to be armed and dangerous. 

According to the station, the suspect got into an argument with the mother of his children, who was sitting in the driver’s seat of an SUV with another passenger.

Her father, Deacon Rafael Hall, known as “the Rev,” was pumping gas when he was gunned down along with his daughter and the other passenger, a neighbor who they were giving a ride to work.

Police say the suspect then drove to another location two miles away, where he fatally shot his adult male cousin.

No arrests have been made in what police are calling the “domestic incident,” and the deaths are under investigation.
