Family asks for help finding suspect who shot, killed man last year in west Phoenix
PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — A Phoenix man’s murder remains unsolved nearly nine months after the crime. Now his family is asking for the public’s help in finding his killer.
Just after 10:30 p.m. on Friday, June 3, 2022, 39-year-old Dominic Daughtrey was found dead from multiple gunshot wounds inside his truck parked at an apartment complex on 39th Avenue near Camelback Road. Police say he had no known ties to the complex or area where he was found. Homicide detectives have been working the case since then, but so far no arrests have been made.
Some of Daughtrey’s family members spoke during a news conference with Silent Witness at Phoenix police headquarters on Tuesday afternoon, hoping to generate tips that could lead to an arrest in his murder. “This loss has been almost impossible for me to wrap my mind around,” said Doe Daughtrey, Dominic’s mother.
“When I think of my brother, I think of his laugh and his smile,” said Daughtrey’s sister, Tatiana Coffman. “And I think of him with his daughter, who’s nine years old. He was the most devoted father. Everything he did, he did for his daughter.
Right now, it’s unclear why Dominic was at the apartment complex and he who he may have visited. His family says he was a smart, successful businessman, who worked as a consultant in the construction industry, and there’s nothing to indicate he would have been targeted.
They know no arrests will bring Dominic back, but they want the killer caught before he or she hurts anyone else. “I know that people saw what happened, that there were people there when he was killed,” said his sister Natasha Daughtrey. “I beg you, if you know something, please reach out.” “It’s unimaginable,” said Coffman. “The thought that other families can be impacted and affected in some way is what’s motivating us.”
Anyone with information that leads to an arrest in the case could be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000. Call Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (480-948-6377) or 480-TESTIGO (480-837-8446) for Spanish speakers. Tap/click here to submit a tip online.
