Dominique was born July 14, 1989, in Sioux City to Tracey Wooten and Lek Nok. He attended schools in Sioux City and Columbus, Ohio. Dominique returned to Sioux City in 2005. He was working in the construction industry.

Dominique lost his life too soon. There were so many things he wanted to do with his life. He talked about how he had wanted to play college football and make something of himself. He had an infectious laugh and smile. He could always make someone laugh. He loved his family and friends, and often showed his affection by pinching their cheeks.

He liked chocolate milk, cereal, Wendy's and Oreo blizzards. He enjoyed playing Call of Duty on Xbox. He was willing to try anything and everything. He had recently cut off his dreads, but regretted it. His friends joked that when he walked, he would hold his head back like he still had them. Last spring he attempted to drive his cousin's motorcycle for the first time, and it wasn't a good idea.

Although he lost his life at such a young age, he was lucky to have real friends. Dominique and his friends, Torey Wickey and Matthew Dean, are going to be greatly missed by many. Dominique's family expresses their deepest sympathies to the families of the other victims.

Survivors include his father, Tracey Wooten of Sioux City; his mother, Lek Nok of Columbus, Ohio; brothers, Terrel Flemister and Trevon Wooten of Omaha; sisters, Natasha Irvin of Omaha, and Keria Wooten, Keyona Wooten, Isabella Wooten and Lillian Wooten, all of Sioux City; and numerous extended family members.
