Patrick Lee Domingo, a 23-year-old resident of Sacramento, California, tragically lost his life on December 12, 2016. The incident occurred at the Beacon Gas Station located on El Camino Avenue. According to reports, Sacramento County sheriff's deputies responded to a call around 3:50 p.m. regarding a man bleeding from the head.
