Dominic Joseph Sumicek was an 11-year-old boy from Houston who was killed on October 26, 2020, while sitting in the passenger seat of a car as the vehicle arrived home. The car’s driver, Menuell Solomon, a Houston rapper known as Montana22 and Dominic’s stepfather, was shot and killed at the same time after shielding Dominic from gunfire.

Investigators identified 23-year-old gang member Desmond Hawkins as the shooter. Surveillance footage and GPS monitoring records show Hawkins waited for Solomon and Dominic to arrive, cut a hole in a chain-link fence, then ambushed the vehicle, shooting Dominic twice and Solomon four times. At the time, Hawkins was out on bond for a 2016 capital murder charge. The motive for the attack has not been disclosed.

Dominic’s mother, Krissi Garcia, has spoken about her grief. If anyone knew Dominic, Solomon, or saw activity near their home on October 26, 2020, please share what might help the case.
