RI trans dad killed son, ex-wife— and critically wounded grandparents
Transgender killer Robert Dorgan shocked the nation with his horrific act of violence at a Rhode Island high-school hockey game. The tragic incident resulted in the loss of his son, Aidan, and ex-wife, Rhonda, while also critically injuring Rhonda’s parents. The devastating impact on the family was evident in a heartfelt message shared on a GoFundMe page by Amanda Wallace-Hubbard.
The fundraiser highlighted the profound loss suffered by the family, with Aidan and Rhonda being remembered as beloved members who were taken too soon. The grandparents, who are fighting for their lives after sustaining critical injuries in the shooting, added to the tragedy of the event.
Dorgan’s teenage son, Colin, was competing in the hockey game when his father carried out the heinous act, leaving him without a mother and older brother. The sudden loss of both parents has left Colin and his sister Ava orphaned, facing an uncertain future without their immediate family.
A relative disclosed that Dorgan had a total of six children, with Ava and Colin now navigating life without their parents and older brother. Despite the challenges ahead, including financial strain and emotional turmoil, Ava and Colin are determined to honor the memory of their loved ones by continuing their education and building a life for themselves.
The GoFundMe campaign, aimed at supporting Ava and Colin through the tragedy, has already raised $57,000 towards its $65,000 goal. The outpouring of support from the community reflects a shared sense of grief and a desire to help the siblings during this difficult time.
Following the shooting, Dorgan, who had previously undergone gender reassignment surgery as Roberta Esposito in 2020, tragically ended his own life. The incident has left a community reeling from the senseless violence and grappling with the aftermath of such a devastating loss.
As the family mourns the loss of Aidan and Rhonda, the resilience of Ava and Colin shines through, offering hope for a brighter future despite the darkness that has descended upon them. The community’s support and generosity serve as a beacon of light in the midst of tragedy, providing a glimmer of hope for the siblings as they navigate the challenging road ahead.
