DOVER, Fla. — Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister said a murder suspect being sought after a woman and 4-year-old girl were found at a “gruesome” scene has been captured.
Angel Gabriel Cuz-Choc, 31, was captured Thursday after less than a day on the run. He was wanted after a woman and child were found dead at a “gruesome” scene in a home Wednesday evening.
Deputies were called to a mobile home on the 3700 block of Sumner Road in Dover around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. They were called after receiving a 911 call from a roommate who arrived home and found the victims.
Sheriff Chronister described the scene Wednesday night as “gruesome,” with the woman laying in her “own puddle of blood.” The sheriff said Cuz-Choc allegedly “stabbed violently, both of them violently.”
Chronister said the victims were a 36-year-old woman, later identified as Amalia Coc Choc de Pec, who was romantically involved with Cuz-Choc, and 4-year-old Estrella Anastasia Pec Coc. Both victims were from Guatemala, and the girl’s father still lives in that country.
According to Chronister, Cuz-Choc allegedly tried calling his brother and other friends seeking help, but all refused.
Cuz-Choc faces two counts of murder in the first degree with a weapon.
Sheriff Chronister says they believe Cuz-Choc had a three hour head start on his deputies.
After hours of searching, an undercover spotted the suspect.
“One of our gang detectives, our undercover detectives, sees a Hispanic male that possibly could be our suspect, could be this person who committed this crime, this murderer, wearing a heavy heavy jacket, almost like a parka jacket. So he sees this Hispanic male walking out of what is almost like an abandoned barn,” the Sheriff said.
Instead of immediately calling out, the undercover continued to watch the suspect.
“He used such great restraint because he knew that if he couldn’t capture this murderer before he got into this heavily dense shrubbery in wooded area, that he would make it worse he would take the scent of these K9’s,” he added.

“Best and fastest I ever seen them, catching the guy the way they did,” he explained. “Because it was brutal here last night. My kids didn’t go to school. The kids are up all night scared.”
