Hezekiah Mendoza, 39, of Providence, appeared before a judge in connection to a stabbing incident in Newport. The victim, a 35-year-old man, was stabbed at a home on Dudley Avenue and taken to Rhode Island Hospital in stable condition. This is not the first violent incident in the neighborhood, as police had responded to a stabbing at the same house in February, where a man had died. Residents have expressed concerns about safety, with one neighbor describing the house as a “murder house” and calling for its removal. The suspect, Mendoza, has been charged with assault and disorderly conduct, and was held on $40,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 22. Meanwhile, neighbors are urging authorities to take action to address safety concerns in the area and prevent further violence.
