OCEAN CITY, MD – (June 10, 2019): Ocean City Police have identified the suspect in the stabbing that occurred Sunday on Caroline Street and the Boardwalk. Detectives credit the town’s City Watch program, along with the public’s assistance, in quickly identifying Harold Rafael Nunez-Dominguez, 19, of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
“We would not have the photographs, video evidence and the ability to quickly identify the suspect without our City Watch program,” commented Ocean City Police Chief Ross Buzzuro. “The investment in the town’s surveillance technology is a key factor in solving this case.”
In addition to City Watch photographs, multiple police tips from citizens and a vigilant hotel employee are credited for helping detectives identify the suspect as a hotel guest. “We work closely with the Chamber of Commerce and the Hotel, Motel Restaurant Association on ways to properly identify their guests,” Chief Buzzuro continued. “With the visitors of our community changing weekly, the partnership of our residents and business community is invaluable to our department and to our investigations.”
Nunez-Dominguez’s has been charged with two counts of assault in the first and second degree, as well as two counts of reckless endangerment. A warrant was issued for his arrest this afternoon and he is currently in police custody in Pennsylvania awaiting extradition to Maryland.
Good POS deserves nothing but jail!
ReplyDeleteAssault? Stabbing someone so badly they had to go to shock trauma in Baltimore and that is no different than if he had punched him in the face? It sounds to me like he tried to kill these guys and not just assault them. No wonder so many repeat offenders!
ReplyDeleteWhy was he not charged with attempted murder?
ReplyDeleteThe sooner these perps begin to realize that OC has some of the best recognition technologies on earth, one would think they would back off. The reality is that they are too stupid and they will be caught every time.
ReplyDelete@ 8:08 FYI Assault 1st Degree is punishable by up to 25 years.....2 counts would be 50 years of he was received maximum penalty (consecutive sentences) for just those 2 offenses. Since it is a crime of violence, he would have to do 50%,which is 25 years. If he was charged with attempted murder and sentenced to life, then he would be eligible for parole after only 15 years. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteDont waste your time. These clowns spout off without any regard for the facts. At this point its obvious they choose to be ignorant.
DeleteNo plea bargain. Lock this scum up for a long time. Great work OCPD and those who assisted.
ReplyDeleteNot another sideways comment from the same complainer(s) about law enforcement not doing its job when they ask for assistance from the public!

ReplyDeleteAgree that account so far would appear to warrant more serious charges. However the charges were sufficient to have him arrested and held pending extradition. And more serious charges can still be filed once he is returned to OC.
Speedy and complete recovery to victims, and many years in confinement to the perp are my wishes.
I know that justice is supposed to be blind, but I hope the judge (or jury) takes into consideration the harm that was done to the Town of Ocean City.
ReplyDeleteSafety in a resort town is paramount. If the town isn't considered safe, vacationers aren't coming.
This act has damaged the reputation of Ocean City. It should be a factor in the sentencing.
Ocean City’s reputation has been damaged for a long time. This act was more like living up to its new reputation

ReplyDeleteis he someone who should not be here in the first place?
ReplyDeleteTO 8:02:
ReplyDeleteMy Dad confidently predicted the "end of Ocean City".
He always lamented the foul-mouthed kids; illegal drugs everywhere; no respect for authority, etc.
That was in 1967.
He was wrong.
I lived here now for the past 28 years. Raised a family of 3.
Nothing changes.
You just have to roll with the punches that society lands on you.
Did this piece of garbage come here as a refugee? Did it sneak across our border?
