Domino's Pizza Delivery Driver Slain in SUV in Burtonsville, Maryland

The man found fatally wounded inside a Jeep in Burtonsville, Maryland, Monday night has been identified as a Rockville man who was working as a pizza delivery driver at the time.

Montgomery County Police are searching for a suspect in the death of Francesco Michael Digiovanni, 45. Detectives are investigating the case as a homicide.

Neighbors in the area of Aldora Circle heard shots just after 11 p.m. Monday.

The victim had just delivered a pizza for Domino's and managed to drive for a couple of blocks after he was shot.

Digiovanni was found slumped over the steering wheel of his Jeep on Ballinger Drive at Autumn Glen Circle. First responders attempted life-saving measures but the victim died at the scene. 

"It's tragic," said Ed Traecy, who owns the Burtonsville Domino's franchise. "I'm having a hard time understanding why."

The Domino's stayed closed Tuesday.
