Police Believe They Have Gun, Suspects in

Killing

WILDWOOD - Police were continuing their investigation yesterday into possible additional robbery charges against one or more of the young men charged in connection with the Sept 8 armed robbery and shooting death of a 66-year-old liquor store clerk. John Domeraski was shot three times at close range in the back of the head inside the Esquire Liquor store. Spicer and Park* Blvd., around 5:45 P.M Monday a week ago. Police have arrested two 19-year-old Wildwood youths and a 17-year-old-Wildwood juvenile — possibly a brother to one of the others — and charged them with homicide, armed robbery, conspiracy to commit armed robbery and possession of a firearm

The two 19-year-olds were identified as Hector Fernandez of W. Garfield Ave., and William D. Wilson of Commissioners Court Apts. yVilson had to be taken forcibly after he barricaded himself in an apartment and held his 18-month-old nephew hostage for a time until his brother reportedly convinced him to give up the child. Police then stormed the room. On Monday, one week after the homicide, authorities recovered a .22calibcr pistol believed to be the murder weapon. It had been stolen during a Sept. 3 burglary at Maggio's Market on Pacific Ave. and later used in the armed robbery of a taxi cab driver Sept. 6. police said. The gun was reportedly recovered in an E. Roberts Ave. apartment.

Two days later Domeraski was shot to death with the same handgun, authorities believe. Police have arrested William Jones, 18, of W. Lincoln Ave., in connection with the cabbie armed robbery. And late Tuesday afternoon police were following down leads that at least one other robbery may have been committed by one or more of the four young men, and perhaps others. There had been what one officer described as "a rash of robberies” in Wildwood prior to the Domeraski shooting, and police are checking to see if there's any connection. It hasn’t yet been determined who the actual trigger man was in the

Domeraski killing. Under the law, all those in on an armed robbery may te equally culpable. Indications are those arrested have been talking. Domeraski was reportedly planning to move to Florida after leaving his seasonal job at the liquor store. Less than $100 was believed taken after he was shot. Two suspects who were originally arrested have been released- They apparently had come upon the crime scene without realizing it but left when they found the front doors to the liquor store locked. A description of their vehicle led to their arrest.
