On the afternoon of November 28, 2025, tragedy struck in Greeley, Colorado, when 16-year-old male Musafili Reyubeni was critically injured in a shooting incident. Officers from the Greeley Police Department were dispatched to the 800 block of East 20th Street Road around 4:00 p.m. following reports of gunfire. Upon their arrival, first responders discovered the teenager suffering from a single gunshot wound. Emergency personnel immediately administered life-saving measures at the scene before transporting him to North Colorado Medical Center in critical condition. Despite being placed on life support, Reyubeni succumbed to his injuries two days later, passing away on November 30.
Investigators quickly identified a suspect in the shooting, 18-year-old Anthony Dominguez, who had fled the scene prior to police arrival. Law enforcement officers located and apprehended Dominguez a short time later. Initial reports indicate that Dominguez attempted to shift blame by telling detectives that another individual had shot Reyubeni and fled, but witnesses present in the home at the time identified Dominguez as the shooter. A subsequent search of Dominguez's residence reportedly uncovered numerous items symbolic of gang affiliation. He was booked into custody on preliminary charges including first-degree assault with serious bodily injury and unlawfully aiming a firearm at another person, with authorities noting that charges would be updated to reflect the victim's death.
Reyubeni, a resident of Log Lane Village who had been visiting Greeley, was remembered by his family as an adventurous and outgoing spirit who dreamt of playing football to support his mother. Born in Silver Spring, Maryland, he was described as a jokester who sought to bring laughter to those around him. His death marked a somber moment for the community, which had already mourned the loss of one of Reyubeni's close friends just months prior. Police emphasized that the shooting appeared to be an isolated incident with no ongoing threat to the public.
