An unidentified particular person whose family put a domestic violence restraining order towards him had allegedly violated the order and was at the household’s dwelling, in accordance with a statement of info supplied by the District Attorney’s Office.

Dominguez started the investigation by speaking to the daughter.

“Officer Dominguez took curiosity in her and continued to work together virtually solely with her,” the statement learn.

After she gave the officer a attainable location, Dominguez allegedly ordered the other two officers to conduct the search. While he “milled across the house,” based on the assertion, “he managed to keep the daughter in view of his Body Worn Digicam.”
