Suspect dead after officer involved shooting at Laketown Wharf

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG) -The suspect that was killed in an officer-involved shooting in Panama City Beach Friday morning has been identified as 31-year old Kanavis Dujuan Glass from Conley Georgia.

Panama City Beach Police Chief Drew Whitman says officers responded to a domestic violence incident at Laketown Wharf around 1:20 a.m. When officers arrived on scene, Glass shot his girlfriend in the face. He says the suspect was killed when officers returned fire.

Whitman says the female victim, who has not been identified, was taken to the hospital and is in surgery. The extent of her injuries are not yet known. No officers were hurt in the incident.

Commuters should expect some delays on South Thomas Drive as the scene remains active.
