PUEBLO, Colo. (TCD) — Police are actively searching for two missing children after the remains of a child were discovered in concrete in a storage unit last month.
On Jan. 10 shortly after 8:30 a.m., the Pueblo Police Department responded to the 600 block of West 6th Street to a report of “suspicious activity” after a person found a metal container in a storage unit that had been filled with concrete. The Pueblo Police Special Victims Unit and Crime Scene Investigations Unit also went to the scene and assumed the investigation.
During a search of the metal container, investigators reportedly found a child’s remains. The Pueblo County coroner will identify the victim.
According to police, investigators are working to locate two missing children, Jesus Dominguez and Yesenia Dominguez, in connection with the case. The children were last seen in the summer of 2018.
Yesenia Dominguez was 3 years old when she disappeared and would now be 9, while her brother, Jesus Dominguez, was around 5 years old when he went missing. He would now be 10 years old.
Officers wrote, “Pueblo Police would like to confirm the location and safety of these children.” However, law enforcement officials did not say how the children were related to the investigation.
As of Jan. 31, police have interviewed two people of interest but did not disclose their names.
