PUEBLO, Colo. — The body of a child was found encased in concrete in a storage unit in Colorado, and officers in Pueblo announced this week that they are looking for two other children as part of the murder investigation to determine if they are safe.
The remains were discovered after someone found a metal container in a storage room filled with hardened concrete on Jan. 10, police said Wednesday.
As part of the investigation, Pueblo police are looking for two children, who are believed to have been 5 and 3 years old when they were last seen in 2018. Police want to ensure that Jesus Dominguez, who is said to be 10, and Yesenia Dominguez, who would be 9, would be safe.
The victim’s identity will be released by the Pueblo County coroner after family notifications are made, police said. Officers have not released any information about the victim’s age or when the child is believed to have died.
Investigators interviewed two persons of interest, police said.
Pueblo is a city of about 110,000 residents located about 45 miles south of Colorado Springs.
