Dominique “Domo” Thompson, whom the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) once called a person of interest in the 2016 unsolved Land/Kauffman double homicides, was released from the Federal Bureau of Prisons on January 10 where he was serving time for federal weapons charges.
Thompson entered a halfway house late last year as part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons Residential Reentry Management Program that provides programs that help inmates rebuild ties to the community and reduces the likelihood that they will recidivate. While at the halfway house inmates are accountable and held to strict rules.

The Baltimore Post-Examiner obtained a photograph of Thompson that he shared with the public on his Instagram account during Christmas last year during his stay at the halfway house. Thompson has since made his Instagram account private.
On October 27, 2016 the bodies of Sydney Land, 21, and Nehemiah “Neo” Kauffman, 20, were found, both shot in the head, in their Southwest Las Vegas apartment.
The murders remain unsolved to this day.
As the Baltimore Post-Examiner has reported in numerous stories, Las Vegas Township Justice Court Judge Melanie Andress-Tobiasson told the Baltimore Post-Examiner in May of 2018 that she was receiving confidential information from the police concerning the Land/Kauffman homicide investigation and that the police had all the evidence that pointed to Shane Valentine, Frankie Zappia, and Dominique Thompson.
Tobiasson also claimed that it was her and her daughter who were meant to be killed, not Land and Kauffman, however, Tobiasson never stated why she believed that.
Tobiasson claimed that the murders happened as a result of LVMPD Vice Detective Justine Gatus outing her as a source of confidential information, hours before the murders were committed. Gatus has since been transferred to the Homicide Bureau.
Frankie Zappia, whose step-father is a retired LVMPD police officer has vehemently denied the allegations.
Shane Valentine is currently incarcerated in Nevada State Prison on charges unrelated to the homicides.
Dominque Thompson could not be reached for comment.
Police are no longer commenting on the case.
