The Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden in caves overlooking the Dead Sea around 70 CE, at the end of the First Roman-Jewish War. They included many standard Jewish scriptures, as well as a number of scolls concerned with rules and practices of the community that hid them.
Since John the Baptist was executed in 36 CE, long before the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, he was of course not influenced by these scrolls themselves. Whether he was influenced by the scrolls before they became "Dead Sea Scrolls", or by other copies of them, depends on whether John was a member of the community that hid them. This possibility continues to be debated.

Is The Gospel of John similar to the Dead Sea Scrolls?
No. John's Gospel takes its inspiration from the Gospels of Mark and Luke, not from a mystical Jewish sect.The Gospel of John was written well into the second century, whereas the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden prior to the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE (with the exception of a few late Dead Sea Scrolls, dating from the Bar Kokhba revolt of 135 CE). All the Dead Sea Scroll fragments large enough to interpret unambiguously either were copies of Old Testament scrolls or were secular documents.
