Death At The Pumps

"PLANTATION, FL - The victims: two women in their 20s, one a community college student with dreams of being a fashion designer, the other a recent arrival from Key West.

"The killer: a jilted boyfriend with a history of domestic violence who within hours took his own life with a bullet to the head on the side of a road.

"Under the harsh lights of an all-night gas station in Plantation, Jillian Hauck, 27, and Brooke Pazo, 22, were gunned down with multiple shots early Friday by a man who had shadowed them in a black car. Both lived in Plantation. Pazo was less than a mile from her home.

"Their killer, police said, was Robert J. Vaughan, 30, of Pembroke Pines, who had recently split up with Hauck. Plantation police spokesman Robert Rettig said Pazo was not targeted, just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"`It appears that the motive in the Chevron shooting was domestic violence-related,` Rettig said. According to Rettig, at about 1 a.m. a dark green, two-door Acura owned by Hauck turned into the Chevron station at the northwest corner of Pine Island Road and Broward Boulevard and pulled up to pump 6. Vaughan followed, parked, got out and fired several shots into the car.

"One woman died at the scene, the other died later at Broward General Medical Center. Police would not identify who died where.

"Two hours later, Vaughan was found dead in the 5600 block of Hawkes Bluff Avenue in Davie. He had a gunshot wound to the head."
