PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Police continue to investigate a shooting that claimed a Providence man’s life over the weekend.
The victim was identified by police Monday as 24-year-old Delvy Dominguez.
Major David Lapatin said around 7:30 p.m. Sunday, one vehicle pulled up to another on Charles Street and several shots were fired.
Dominguez, who was a passenger, was hit and then taken to the hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
“We are out there as I speak trying to piece this together,” Lapatin added. “With everything that we are looking at it appears that it was a targeted shooting, but I can’t tell you for sure right now.”
No word on any suspects or what led up to the shooting.
It was the city’s third homicide of the year.
