W. LEXINGTON AVE-RESIDENCE OF DOMINIQUE

On December 12, 2024, at approximately 2:06 PM, Det. Kiefer and I interviewed multiple individuals regarding an ongoing investigation. These individuals were identified as Dominique Zepeda and Chris Sanchez. We met them at Zepeda' s residence located at W Lexington Ave. When I arrived, I spoke with Dominique. I advised her part of the return to meet her again was also to obtain fingerprints for her for elimination prints because of her being in Sergio's vehicle the following day. Due to the young children in the residence and the nature of the conversation, it was decided to stay outside. Det. Kiefer inquired about the whereabouts of Chris, another individual involved in the case. Dominique stated Chris was with his sister and would be returning soon. Dominique appears to be in a boyfriend/ girlfriend relationship. I explained the importance of obtaining fingerprints from everyone known to be in Sergio's car, including Sergio, Carlos, Chris, and Dominique. This was necessary to identify any unknown prints that might belong to the suspects involved in the homicide. Dominique understood. Dominique provided their personal information, including their name, date of birth, and place of birth. Dominique mentioned that they were the smallest in their family despite being the oldest. Dominique's fingerprints were taken, and was explained that these prints would not be entered into any database but would be used solely for elimination purposes. Dominique expressed some nervousness but complied with the process. During the fingerprinting, Det. Kiefer asked Dominique about their knowledge of an individual named Dominique initially denied knowing but later mentioned that Chris had told them about Dominique also mentioned knowing through their sister. Det. Kiefer inquired about Dominique's relationship with Sergio and Carlos. Dominique clarified that they were not dating Sergio but had liked her in the past. Dominique also mentioned that Chris did not like Sergio, which sometimes caused tension. It appears it may be a point of contention with both Chris and Sergio visiting Dominique at various times.
