The Murdered
Dominic Marino
East Hartford, Connecticut
🇺🇸💔 8 YEARS LATER, DOMINIC STILL DESERVES JUSTICE 💔🇺🇸
On November 18, 2018, 30-year-old disabled U.S. Air Force veteran Dominic Marino was tragically found shot to death inside his East Hartford home. His wrists and ankles had been bound, and investigators determined that he had been the victim of a violent homicide. Dominic’s brother was the one who discovered him, a moment no family should ever have to endure.
Dominic proudly served his country in Guam, South Korea, and Kuwait, carrying the lasting effects of service-related injuries and chronic pain. But those who knew him remember so much more than the pain he lived with. They remember a kind-hearted, patriotic, adventurous man who cared deeply about his fellow veterans and the people around him.
Nearly eight years later, his family is still living with the heartbreak of losing Dominic while facing the unbearable reality of unanswered questions. Someone knows something. Someone may have seen something, heard something, or knows a detail that could finally help investigators bring his killer to justice.
💰 The State of Connecticut is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Dominic’s killer.
If you know anything, no matter how insignificant you may think it is, please come forward. One piece of information could be the piece that finally gives Dominic’s family the answers they have been waiting for.

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.
