Damaso, the civil guard famous as Donald's guide, became the murderer of the Llanes barracks

In August 2026, Dámaso, a 49-year-old Spanish National Police officer known for his work with a drug-sniffing dog named Donald, was involved in a tragic incident at the Llanes police station in Asturias. Two years earlier, Dámaso had been widely recognized for his dedication to the force, particularly for guiding Donald through 11 years of service, during which they conducted over 1,000 interventions against narcotics trafficking. However, this positive image contrasted sharply with the events of August 5, 2026, when Dámaso entered the Llanes station armed and shot his former wife, Laura, who was also a police officer working there. The shooting resulted in Laura’s death. During the confrontation, another officer attempted to assist Laura but was seriously injured by Dámaso. In turn, Dámaso was wounded by other officers while trying to flee. He later died in a mobile intensive care unit two hours after the incident. Dámaso had reportedly been recently removed from duty due to allegations of domestic abuse.
