The sentencing trial for the man who pleaded guilty to killing a Nassau County deputy in 2021 will resume Tuesday with more testimony from prosecution witnesses.

McDowell’s other charges stemmed from an encounter in the woods during a manhunt, which ended after five days when McDowell was “He thought the cop was calling for backup and didn’t want to go back to jail,” Gale said. “He said he was going to run from the cop.”She also testified she didn’t know there was a gun in the car until he pulled it out and shot the deputy.

Body camera video from Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office K-9 Chaos’ handler, Officer Dale Cullen, was also shown in court Monday. The video shows Cullen letting Chaos go when he realizes the dog might have found something in the woods. But McDowell did eventually stop, pulling off U.S. 301 onto Sandy Ford Road, and stopping just short of the railroad tracks — a decision that would later prove fateful for Moyers.

Just then, the railroad crossing arms activated with the bells ringing and lights flashing. Moyers turned to look at the crossing arms for just a moment, and when he turned back, McDowell had a gun in his face — and pulled the trigger, shooting Moyers just below his eye, investigators said.shows McDowell quickly leaning out of the van and firing again at Moyers, hitting him in the back.

She said McDowell drove a short distance away and told her they had to hide. She said once out of the van, she ran back toward deputies, and he ran the other way -- sparking the five-day manhunt.In a video released as part of discovery material in the case, K-9 Chaos can be seen picking up McDowell’s trail in the woods in the hours after the shooting. After the dog starts barking, gunshots can be heard and the dog yelps in pain.
