A community is grieving after 38-year-old Domonick A community is grieving after 38-year-old Domonick Knight, a former Newport resident and Rogers High School football standout, was shot and killed by police early Tuesday morning during a mental health crisis at his home in Fall River. According to police, Knight’s family called 911 just after 1:30 a.m. to report that he was armed and threatening to harm himself. Officers arrived at the Langley Street duplex and began evacuating nearby residents. Family members continued to call, desperate for help. A trained crisis negotiator tried for nearly an hour to reach Knight through phone calls, text messages, and a loudspeaker, but received no response. Police say that around 3:15 a.m., members of the Emergency Services Unit breached the front door after failed communication attempts and were met with gunfire from the top of the stairs. Officers returned fire, then deployed a flashbang to distract him. Inside, they found Knight with a short-barreled rifle and a handgun. He had been shot in the head. Authorities have not confirmed whether he was struck by police gunfire, although the police fired a barrage of shots. Knight was later pronounced dead at a hospital. Knight, a husband and father of four, was remembered by loved ones as a kind, funny, and humble man who had served in the military. His family says he called police for help — not harm — and are now raising funds for his funeral and to seek legal support. https://gofund.me/e875b4be “Domonick Cornwallace Knight deserved to be given a chance, a helping hand, and a caring environment,” said his daughter Nieema. The incident is under investigation by the Essex County District Attorney’s Office. Developing… #fallriver #newportri #domonickknight
Newport’s streets are getting a major facelift t Newport’s streets are getting a major facelift this summer as the City kicks off its annual Roadway Improvement Program, bolstered by a $3 million investment made possible by the 2024 General Obligation Bond. Construction is already underway on Prescott Hall Road, where crews from Pawtucket Hot Mix Asphalt (PHMA) are installing new pavement, sidewalks, and curbing. It’s the first of more than 20 city streets scheduled for upgrades in the coming months. The full list includes: Albro Street, Allan Court, Ayrault Street (from Kay to Catherine), Barney Court, Barney Street, Congdon Avenue, Court House Street, Filmore Street, Heath Street, Johnson Court, Kingston Avenue, Pearl Street, Prescott Hall Road, Russo Court, Southmayd Street, Stewart Street, Tilley Avenue, and Tompkins Court. Spring Street, which saw major water main work last year, is also slated for repaving. In past years, Newport allocated roughly $1 million annually for street repairs. But the 2024 GO Bond tripled that figure, allowing the City to accelerate its infrastructure improvements. Upgrades will include street resurfacing, new sidewalks, curb resets, and other repairs. Residents will receive notice from the contractor before work begins on their street. Parking restrictions will be in place on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., and “No Parking” signs will be posted in advance. While the initial paving will move quickly, sidewalk and curbing work is expected to continue into the fall. The final coat of pavement will be laid after those improvements are complete.
