A Washington County Criminal Court Judge denied a bond reduction for a man facing charges of attempted murder of a woman and first-degree murder of her fetus who died as a result of the attack.
Dominique Marsalis Fleming, 28, who has lived in Kingsport and Johnson City, is jailed on a $500,000 bond after the pregnant woman lost her fetus after a north Johnson City trailer park beating.
The deadly assault took place Nov. 3, 2019, at Big Valley Trailer Park off the Bristol Highway. Neighbors called 911 after they found the woman with a severe head injury. She was taken to Johnson City Medical Center. Police said the fetus died because of complications from the womanâs injuries.
It will still be at least a few years before the Johnson City Development Authority sees its ambitions for the John Sevier Center fully realized.
But, in the year and a half since it officially purchased the building, the organizationâs leader says the JCDA is making progress bit-by-bit on its plan.
In 2019, the JCDA bought the nearly century- old apartment complex with plans to eventually sell the building to a developer, unlocking the commercial potential for a structure that has for years served as subsidized housing.
The center, located at 141 E. Market St., is one of the most visible buildings in the downtown areaâs skyline. Although nothing is certain at this stage, officials have floated the idea of the redeveloped building eventually having residential options, retail and maybe even a hotel.
Johnson City plans to temporarily close Haven of Mercy on Friday johnsoncitypress.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from johnsoncitypress.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
âWe have a great plan, I think, laid out,â McClain said Monday.
The day after an appointed board found the structure unfit for habitation, McClain was on a call with representatives for the city and a series of local homeless organizations to discuss ways to help the tenants, who the city has said will be âevacuatedâ from the shelter at 123 W. Millard St. at a yet-to-be determined time.
The Johnson City Board of Dwelling Standards and Review decided Thursday to temporarily close the shelter after hearing a presentation from staff about multiple building code violations. In a press release Friday, the city said conditions exist in the two main structures that are dangerous to the health of occupants, including defects that increase the risk of fire or accidents.
