The two children, identified as five-year-old Jesus Jr. and three-year-old Yesenia Dominguez, were last seen in the summer of 2018.

Police confirmed that Dominguez is the father of the deceased children, while Minjarez is his girlfriend but not their mother. The investigation began when a storage unit containing the girl’s body was being cleaned out due to unpaid rent. Subsequent searches led to the grim discovery of the boy’s remains in a vehicle owned by Minjarez.
**The Arrests and Charges**
Both Minjarez and Dominguez have been charged with two counts each of murder and abuse of a corpse. Dominguez also faces an additional charge of theft of government benefits. They are currently being held on a $2 million bond, with court hearings scheduled for Wednesday.

The city of Pueblo, where the tragic incident occurred, is located about 45 miles south of Colorado Springs and has a population of approximately 110,000.
