On the evening of Nov. 9, Sgt. Dominic Guida, after participating in a training event with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, suffered a cardiac event and was rushed to AdventHealth Palm Coast, where he died. Mayor Robinson, Vice Mayor Rogers, Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Barnes were at the hospital when the city learned of death.

Guida joined the Bunnell Police Department in July 2016. He worked his way through the ranks and had been promoted to sergeant in January 2020. He was a much-loved officer and co-worker. He loved his job and being in the community.

Mayor Catherine Robinson said: “This is a day of sorrow and tragedy. The death of Dominic Guida is a profound loss to the city and the Bunnell Police Department.”

City Manager Alvin B. Jackson Jr. added: "This is a very numbing time, and it's hard to believe we lost him so fast. He was truly a kind, humble, fun loving and lively police sergeant. There will be a great hole in our city and Police Department. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Dominic, our police chief and our officers.”

Any arrangements for public ceremonies will be announced once they are determined.
