His sentence stems from the deadly shooting of another Elizabeth City man in 2020. On Aug. 22, 2020, officers found a man who had been shot on South Road Street in Elizabeth City. He was taken to Sentara Albemarle Medical Center then airlifted to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital where he died from his injuries.

Police identified the victim as 19-year-old Dominique Daguizan from Elizabeth City.

Dybowski was later arrested, police say.

Dybowski was sentenced to 94 to 120 months in prison, with about 40 months of time served counting toward that sentence.

He’s now in the custody of the North Carolina Department of Adult Corrections.
