Boyfriend Throws Girlfriend into Traffic in Florida Tragedy: Florida – In a shocking incident in Florida, a 20-year-old man, D. Domond, is charged with murdering his 17-year-old girlfriend, J. Barthold, after a domestic fight, resulting in a second-degree murder charge. Domond is now set to face a long legal battle following his violent act against his girlfriend.

The attack happened last Monday. Police were summoned to a residence, where they found the lifeless body of a young woman in the backyard. The victim, Barthold, was found dead at the scene by paramedics after suspected strangulation.

Domond first reported to police that during a fight at his residence, he was attacked by Barthold and a man who was not known to him.

But after thorough interrogation and the realization of the consequences of his actions, Domond confessed that there were no other individuals involved and that he had strangled Barthold during a fight. Domond then, as per the police, dragged her body to the backyard to conceal his horrific act.

Domond was arrested the following day and is being detained without bond at the correctional center. When he appeared before a judge, bail was denied, and a public defender was assigned to defend him.

The town and Barthold’s family are in shock and grief at the untimely passing of the young girl. Relatives and friends had a vigil to pay tribute to Barthold’s memory, and many wore T-shirts with her picture as a respectful gesture.

The victim’s brother expressed deep grief and regret for his inability to protect her. “She didn’t deserve this at all,” he told reporters. “She was a lovely young girl. This is simply tragic. He should not have gone so far with domestic violence. It did not have to be like that. I’m so sorry for everything.”

The vigil was also an opportunity to create awareness of domestic violence, as the mourners decried not only the death of a young life but also the circumstances that precipitated such an act.

Barthold’s aunt was disappointed and frustrated, “I’m not pleased that she’s on my shirt if I’m honest. I do not wish her to be on my shirt. “I’d like her to be with me physically.” During the investigation, more information is revealed about the relationship between Domond and Barthold, as a violent and troubled one.

Authorities said Domond had also been involved in angry altercations with Barthold in the past, such as when Barthold’s mother alleged Domond physically attacked her. 

Domond’s case against him rests on eyewitness accounts, forensic findings, and his own conflicting words. The sheriff’s department is working to connect all the dots from the sequence of events that occurred leading up to Barthold’s death with hopes of serving up justice for her and her grieving family.

Barthold referred to in a web obituary as a “loving and sweet baby” and a “daddy’s girl,” was loved by everyone who ever met her.

Her brother created a GoFundMe page to assist with funeral costs, remembering her sadly brief life: “A beautiful soul was lost because of tragic domestic violence.” While the community grieves, the harsh reminder of the risks of domestic conflict and the need to seek assistance continues to dominate the conversation ignited by this senseless tragedy.
