BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A produce company driver from Louisiana was shot to death while making a delivery to a store in Jackson, Mississippi.
Tarik Domino, 45, was working for Baton Rouge-based Capitol City Produce when he was killed Saturday.
Jackson Police Department Deputy Chief Deric Hearn said Domino was shot at a Dollar General store when two other people got into a fight. One of those people fired a gun at the other, and Domino was shot.
Domino was taken to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.
His sister, Trinni Domino, told WAFB-TV that she had spoken to her brother that morning.
“He died on my birthday. We were planning a celebration that night,” she said.
Trinni Domino said her brother could light up a room. He loved the San Francisco 49ers, his job and his family.
”They called him the Tom Brady of Capital City Produce, and they also called him the King of the French Quarter because he’s been doing it for so long and I guess everybody knew him, and they loved him,” she said. “He had a very bubbly personality.”
Trinni Domino said she’s praying that police capture the person responsible for her brother’s death.
”It was a senseless act. You know? Very senseless,” she said. “It could’ve been anybody there. I just don’t understand with all this violence, it’s just unnecessary. Very unnecessary. I hope they catch him because I want justice for my brother.”
