He's a Latin American immigrant.

In most Hispanic cultures (though not generally among native-born Americans of Hispanic background) your legal name is "first name" + "middle name(s)" + "father's surname" + "mother's surname". Valdivia is his father's name, and Dominguez is his mother's.

To add to the confusion, there are also "saint's names" and many standard nicknames, like Pepe for Jose, or Pancho for Francisco.

I have a friend, Pepe Coppel, whose legal name in Mexico is Jose Alberto Coppel Tirado. People sometimes abbreviate the mother's surname part, so my friend often signs his name "Jose Coppel T."

Informally or in conversation, you would use "first name" + "father's surname", so this burglar would be David Valdivia under our naming system. You could call him David Valdivia-Dominguez and be correct under both Spanish and English naming traditions, but it's a big mistake to call him David Dominguez.

I think a lot of fugitive Mexicans slip through the cracks of the American legal system this way.
