CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — The family of a Chesterfield woman killed in a domestic violence incident will hold a vigil in remembrance of her life on Saturday afternoon.
25-year-old mother Dominique Fields was shot and killed on November 7 outside of her home in Chesterfield.
On Saturday, outside that same apartment, Dominique’s mother, Michelle Erazo, will hold a vigil to remember the young mother of two whose life was cut tragically short.
Erazo says a text alert and headline were the reasons why she went to her cell phone on November 7.
"I have her location because I help pay the phone bill, I help her out,” Erazo said. “When I zoomed into her location and I saw the article about the woman shot multiple times. I zoomed into the right and it said South Point Landing. I started shaking."
She had a gut feeling that something terrible had happened to her daughter, Dominique.
"As I was getting ready to go down there I heard the knock on the door and it was the police officers and I already knew. They didn't have to tell me - I already knew it was her."
Chesterfield Police were called to the 5800 block of Nottinghill Drive for a woman shot outside of her apartment home.
The next day, police confirmed the U.S. Marshal task force had the father of Dominique Fields’ two children, Quadry B. Campbell, in custody and facing murder charges.
"She was a good person, a good mother. Everyone loved her,” Erazo said. “She had a good heart. She was an angel. She was a Momma's girl. Always attached to me. She did no wrong to nobody. She was always helpful and she was all about her and her kids."
A vigil remembering Dominique will be at 4 p.m. Saturday outside her apartment at the South Point Landing Apartments. Erazo says attendees can bring a candle to light at the vigil.
You can donate to this GoFundMe to help support Dominique’s children at this time.
