Murder Suspect Nabbed by Authorities in Broome County

 

            Authorities in Broome County have apprehended the man wanted in connection with a double-homicide that occurred in Dannemora earlier this week.

            According to Bureau of Criminal Investigation Captain Robert LaFountain, sheriff’s patrols in Binghamton spotted Anthony “Tony” Pavone’s black pickup truck in a motel parking lot.

            The 52-year-old Morrisonville man was wanted for questioning in last weekend’s shooting deaths of 52-year-old Timothy Carter and 43-year-old Patricia Howard. LaFountain says Pavone surrendered around 4 a.m. Friday after law enforcement SWAT teams surrounded the motel.

            Police were called to Carter’s Dannemora residence at about 4 a.m. Sunday after receiving reports that Pavone was trespassing and would not leave. Reports indicate that Howard and Pavone – a former prison guard – had dated but had recently broken up.

WNBZ will continue to update this story as more information becomes available.
