Memorial Fund Started for Family of Slain Roswell Boy

Jesus Dominguez, 4, was the victim of a murder-suicide committed by his father last week.

A special fund has been set up to provide assistance to the family of a Roswell boy killed last week in a murder-suicide. 

Donations may be made to the Jesus Alberto Dominguez Rivera Memorial Fund at any Wells Fargo Bank branch. 

Jesus Dominguez, 4, was found dead in a wooded area near his Old Holcomb Bridge Way apartment on Dec. 20, the day after he went missing. Roswell Police determined that he was murdered by his father, Carlos Alberto Dominguez, who then took his own life. 

The boy's mother, Sandra Rivera Ruiz, was severely beaten last Thursday by the elder Dominguez, according to police, and she remains unconscious at North Fulton Hospital.  

She has two daughters, ages 5 and 10, who are being cared for by family members. They were at school when the attack occurred.
