Dominique Belleville, 35, was shot and killed outside his Miami home in Little Haiti on April 18, 2021, around 3:45 a.m. Neighbors heard a single gunshot and a barking dog; Belleville was found bleeding and slumped over the roots of a tree near Northwest 60th Terrace and North Miami Avenue. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center and pronounced dead on arrival.

Belleville’s family describe him as a kind, helpful man and a devoted father. The Miami Police Department has classified the case as a homicide, is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest, and says the investigation is ongoing with no arrests so far. Family members have distributed flyers and urged anyone with information to come forward; investigators note community reluctance to cooperate has been an obstacle.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers or the Miami Police Department’s Homicide Unit. Did anyone in Little Haiti see or hear anything that night?
