BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- There is new information about a possible motive for a shooting and chase that left one man dead in Boynton Beach on Wednesday.
We now know the victim was the gunman's boss. Paul Dabbs is accused of opening fire on 41-year-old Lawrence Modena junior as he sat in his black lexus in a parking lot near Home Depot.
According to court documents, Modena sent Dabbs to Buffalo on business so his wife could file a restraining order. Dabbs lived in a Delray Beach home with his wife of 21-years. Court records show Susan Dabbs had five restraining orders against her husband in the past six years. According to the most recent one filed just last month, Dabbs was addicted to crack cocaine and owned a 38-caliber handgun. She claims he was physically abusive and threatened to kill her numerous times.

A neighbor of the couple says it wasn't uncommon to see police in front of their Delray Beach home.
"He was in the house with a gun and had himself locked in their house, they walked over and asked us to get in the house and lock the door," said the suspect's neighbor.
Dabbs now faces numerous charges including homicide and aggravated assault on a police officer.
