Dominic Toretto is portrayed by Vin Diesel as an elite street racer, auto mechanic and ex-convict. The character is the brother of Mia Toretto and former love interest and ex-boyfriend of Leticia Ortiz. Throughout the series, Dominic's crew has perpetrated many high-speed truck hijackings, stealing millions of dollars in merchandise. He has spent most of his life running from the law. In Fast Five, Dominic and Brian O'Conner get caught in a crossfire with employees of Hernan Reyes, a ruthless drug lord, and are thought to have killed three DEA agents, but to gain their freedom they must confront Reyes, who wants them dead and evade hard-nosed elite DSS federal agent Luke Hobbs.
