Pueblo, CO – Community members in Pueblo came together Monday to honor the memory of two young siblings, Jesus Dominguez Jr. and 3-year-old Yesenia Dominguez, during a heartfelt memorial procession held December 8, 2025.
According to the Pueblo County Coroner’s Office, the children’s remains were identified earlier this year, prompting local agencies and residents to organize a countywide tribute emphasizing unity, remembrance, and awareness of child violence.
The procession, which began at the Coroner’s Office and concluded at the Historic Courthouse, included the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office, Pueblo Police Department, and District Attorney’s Office. Participants joined in a peaceful caravan with headlights on to symbolize solidarity and mourning.
Sheriff David J. Lucero joined families, friends, and community members at the memorial to express condolences and encourage continued support for the victims’ loved ones. “We wanted to show respect and remembrance for the Dominguez family,” officials said in a shared statement.
Special acknowledgments were extended to community members who contributed to the memorial, including Gerry and Dian Montgomery for floral arrangements, Angelo Romero for providing the hearse, and local faith leaders for their support.
The event served as a powerful reminder of Pueblo’s commitment to compassion, healing, and justice for the youngest victims of violence.
