Domingo Tavarez-Rodriguez Wiki – Domingo Tavarez-Rodriguez Biograpgy

On Friday night, a North Carolina police officer failed to report for duty. Now both he and his wife are dead, authorities say. The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation is investigating the deaths as a double homicide, Fayetteville Police Chief Kemberle Braden said at a news conference Friday night. Tarheel State Police took over the investigation because one of the victims served as a police officer, he said.

Officer Domingo Tavarez-Rodriguez, 53, was supposed to start his work shift at 6 p.m. – after taking several days off. At first, when he didn’t show up, supervisors tried his phone. When he did not respond to repeated calls, officers went to his home on Vandenberg Drive and entered. The officer and his wife, Yenitza Arroyo Torres, were found shot to death, the police chief said.

“They notified me around 7 p.m.,” Braden said. The chief did not elaborate on the deaths, other than mentioning the apparent gunshot wounds, and did not say whether there were any signs of forced entry into the home.

During the press conference, Braden said that Tavarez-Rodriguez was a military veteran and had recently joined the FPD in 2021. According to The Fayetteville Observer, the couple were newlyweds, marrying in October 2022. Records cited by the newspaper show that Tavarez-Rodriguez purchased the home sometime in 2017.

“This is so unreal,” a woman identified as a relative of Torres wrote on social media, according to the newspaper. “RIP, Yenitza.” “My beautiful cousin,” another woman wrote, “Jenny we always love you RIP.” Two other people on social media reportedly reminisced about their time with Tavarez-Rodriguez in the military, saying that he recently seemed happy and that he was an amazing cop.

“From our conversations, he was big in the community … helping keep people safe,” neighbor Brian Stackhouse told Goldsboro, North Carolina-based CBS affiliate WNCN. “‘Mingo’ was so kind to all the kids on our block here. Like I said, it’s very shocking.” “My heart goes out to the family because it is tragic,” Rita Stackhouse told the television station. Stackhouse and his wife described the couple as unfailingly polite, welcoming and friendly.

According to WNCN, the house was surrounded by multiple police cars, flashing lights and yellow tape, a surreal departure from the typically considered idyllic River Glen neighborhood. “Not knowing what exactly happened… that’s the most important thing,” added the neighbor. “Because no one knows right now.” Details about the circumstances of the shootings are scant and the SBI are reportedly keeping quiet, the Observer reports.

“The investigation of the incident is ongoing,” the FPD said in a press release. “More information will be released as it becomes available.” On Saturday, Braden added a small detail, saying he didn’t believe the officer’s job was a factor in his death. “I have no fear that the officers are under attack right now,” Braden said, according to the Observer.Read More……
