Uncle of child involved in Best Buy shooting in process of adopting him
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The child involved in the Augusta Best Buy shooting in September is in the process of being adopted by his uncle.
David Domingo is the brother of Melissa Domingo, the child’s mother.
Melissa, 41, and her mother, Elizabeth Domingo, 79, were allegedly shot and killed in the Best Buy parking lot on Walton Way Extension in early September during a custody exchange with the child’s father, 41-year-old Hajir Talebzadeh – Melissa’s ex-husband.
Talebzadeh was charged with two counts of murder and one count of cruelty to children in the first degree.
The child was not hurt in the incident.
David said the judge in the case allowed DCFs to begin the adoption process as the criminal trial is ongoing, and that the 5-year-old is in Colorado for the holidays.
