The Murdered
Dominic Marino
East Hartford, Connecticut
🔎💔 Seeking Justice for a Fallen Veteran 💔🔎
Disabled U.S. Air Force veteran Dominic Marino, 30, was tragically found shot to death in his East Hartford home on November 18, 2018. Dominic, who lived with chronic pain from service-related injuries and was beloved for his dedication to fellow veterans, was discovered by his brother after what police say was a violent forced entry and struggle. His wrists and ankles had been bound, and his death was ruled a homicide. A proud Airman who served in Guam, South Korea, and Kuwait, Dominic was known for his kindness, patriotism, and adventurous spirit. His family, still heartbroken and searching for answers, continues to plead for the public’s help. The State of Connecticut is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of his killer.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Frank Napolitano at 860-291-7640 or fnapolitano@easthartfordct.gov.
Dominic’s loved ones deserve closure, and justice must be served. 🙏

The Lost & The Taken 
Ashleigh,
I always have a look at the Veterans you post on.
This case isn’t in my wheelhouse but just an observation. In the Deck podcast they state he was medically discharged because of an IED.
He might have been BUT he didn’t serve anywhere where he would have been exposed to IEDs. Doesn’t make sense unless he was a spook. His obit states: He was based in Guam and was sent to South Korea, Kuwait, Japan, Turkey and Germany.
The missing shell casing is interesting too. A professional would do that but most professionals ALWAYS do the double tap. One is down. Two is dead. No one gets killed because of dope these days. Too much good medicinal stuff on the market. It’s practically legal everywhere.
I wonder if they were looking for a USB? I just reviewed the Erin Patterson case and on the 2nd search they had a dog that could specifically search for computer hardware and USBs!
Anyways, just thoughts.
