The long search for 24-year-old Dominic Connelly is finally over. Police safely arrested him on December 11 in Vanceboro, North Carolina.
Dominic is accused of a terrible crime. On October 25, his 72-year-old grandmother, Patricia Lopedote, was found dead. Police say Dominic killed her, set her house on fire, and stole her car.
A few days later, he also stabbed a police officer in the leg at a restaurant and ran away. Thankfully, the officer survived. After looking for weeks, police finally found Dominic hiding inside an empty building.
He is now in jail and faces serious charges, including murder and assault. The community hopes to find true justice for his grandmother, Patricia.
