Dominique Belleville, a 35-year-old resident of Miami, Florida, tragically lost his life on April 18, 2021. Belleville was shot outside his home in the Little Haiti neighborhood, near the intersection of Northwest 60th Terrace and North Miami Avenue. The incident occurred around 3:45 a.m., and a neighbor reported hearing a single gunshot followed by a barking dog. Belleville was found bleeding and slumped over the roots of a tree.
Despite being rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Belleville's death has left his family and the community in shock. His sister, Rosemonde Auguste, described him as a kind and helpful person who was always there for others. Belleville was a devoted father who took great care of his child. The family has been actively seeking justice, distributing flyers and urging anyone with information to come forward. The Miami Police Department has classified the case as a homicide and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
The investigation into Belleville's murder is ongoing, with no arrests made so far. The Miami Police Department has been appealing to the public for any leads that could help solve the case. The community's reluctance to cooperate with law enforcement due to a culture of fear and disdain for those who assist detectives has been a significant hurdle. Belleville's family continues to hope for justice and closure, urging anyone with information to contact Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers or the Miami Police Department's Homicide Unit.
