Of "versus" from?

I would like to know when to use "of" and "from" in news writing.

For example, which of these two sentences is correct:

-The victim was identified by the Texas Department of Public safety as 68-year-old John Miller of Amarillo, Texas.

or

-The victim was identified by the Texas Department of Public safety as 68-year-old John Miller from Amarillo, Texas.

Thank you in advance for your help.
