LANCASTER --Lancaster police said they have arrested a suspect in connection with Monday's fatal shooting of a convenience store clerk.
Christopher Glenn Dominique, 21, was charged with capital murder. Police said they believe he has been living in DeSoto, but said Dominique appears to have recently moved from the New Orleans area.
Anthony Flanery, 19, was killed during a 2 a.m. holdup at a 7-Eleven store at 640 West Pleasant Run Road in Lancaster.
Lancaster police Lt. Joe Hall said Dominique's name came up early in the investigation. "It's not really appropriate for me to comment on his criminal history rig
ht now, but we believe he's had some difficulties in the past," he said.
Hall
said Dominque was arrested about 2 a.m. Tuesday at an unnamed Dallas-area hospital where he was a patient. He said Dominique's injuries were due to an "unrelated incident" that occured after Flanery's shooting death.
Bail for Dominique was set at $1 million. Hall said he was expected to be transferred to jail later on Tuesday.
Flanery's family called the teen's shooting death a cold-blooded murder.
Police said a lone gunman entered the store, asked for cigarettes, and then shot and killed Flanery. Police said the man then stole an undetermined amount of money and fled the store.
Hall said there was no indication that Flanery knew his killer or that he had been specifically targeted.
The crime was captured on surveillance video.
Mark Flanery, the victim's father, said his son had only worked at t
he c
onve
nience store for three months.
"He was a good kid," Flanery said. "He went to school. He graduated and didn't get held back anywhere. He didn't do drugs and did
n't smoke or drink. He was just a good kid."
Flanery said he will never understand why the man who robbed the convenience store also had to take his young son's life.
"[The robber] has to deal with the consequences," he said.
While Flanery said he is ready for justice, he said he doesn't blame 7-Eleven or police for the death of his son.
In fact, just 15 minutes prior to the shooting, an officer checked up on Flanery at the store. That very same officer was called back to the scene after the robbery.
