Dominick Q. Thornton was 18 when he died at his Williamstown, Pennsylvania home on March 30, 2016. Born April 13, 1997, he enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing, and spending time with family and friends. The coroner pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police say the early-morning shooting was the result of a domestic dispute that escalated into violence. Dominick’s 15-year-old brother, Dakota Thornton, allegedly shot him with a shotgun; Dakota reportedly confessed and was charged as an adult with first-degree murder and possession of an instrument of a crime with intent. The Dauphin County District Attorney’s Office handled the prosecution.

The family, including mother Brenda Adley Thornton and siblings, were left grieving after the loss. Does anyone have information about Dominick’s life in Williamstown or about the events that led up to that night?
