Ronald Joseph Dominique (b. 1964) is an accused serial killer from the Bayou Blue area of Houma, which is in Terrebonne Parish in southeastern Louisiana.[1][2]
Following his arrest on December 1, 2006, Dominique confessed to the rape and murder of at least 23 men over a 10-year period beginning in 1997, in Terrebonne Parish, Lafourche Parish, Iberville Parish and Jefferson Parish in suburban New Orleans. He has been charged with multiple cases of rape and first-degree murder. Dominique is suspected of killing 23 men.[1][2]
In his confession, Dominique, who is reportedly gay, said he frequented area gay bars and targeted men he thought would be willing to have sex for money.
He was investigated following a police report by a man who refused to let Dominique tie him up. The most recent victim, Christoper Sutter-field, had died about two months earlier.
