The remains of a child were found inside the container by PPD Special Victims Unit detectives and Crime Scene Investigators. The victim will be identified at a later time by the Pueblo County Coroner, though PPD said the case is being investigated as a homicide.
As part of the investigation, police are attempting to locate two children, Jesus Dominguez and Yesenia Dominguez. Information indicates they have not been seen since approximately the summer of 2018, police said.
Yesenia Dominguez was about 3 years old when she was last seen and would currently be 9 years old. Jesus Dominguez was about 5 years old when he was last seen and would currently be about 10 years old. Pueblo Police would like to confirm the location and safety of the children.
Police said two people of interest have been interviewed in connection with the case and that the investigation is ongoing.
