Sgt. Dustin Demonte

Tragedy has struck our Miami Dolphins fan community.

Bristol Police Sgt. Dustin Demonte of Bristol, Connecticut, an avid Miami Dolphins fan, was shot and killed in the line of duty overnight Wednesday night.

State police say Sgt. Demonte and another officer were lured to a home with a fake 911 call reporting a domestic dispute between brothers. Once they arrived, they were ambushed.

DeMonte was hired by the Bristol Police Department ten years ago. The chief said at only 35-years-old, DeMonte had already received recognition and awards, including Officer of the Year. He received a live saving commendation in 2019.

Dustin DeMonte was a fan of the New York Yankees and the Miami Dolphins, and he and his wife planned to travel to Miami this weekend to watch the team play the Minnesota Vikings, his brother said.

The funds raised here will go directly to Sgt DeMonte’s wife, Laura, two children with another child on the way.

Lets help our Fins family out however we can!
