GREENSBORO, N.C. — A man accused of shooting and killing a woman he didn't know following a fight with his child's mother appeared in court on Monday.

Deon Monk will remain in jail after the judge denied his bond motion. He's charged with first-degree murder.

Police said Deon Monk shot a gun outside the Claremont Apartment community on Phillips Avenue on the afternoon of March 23. The bullet struck 25-year-old Sharelle Johnson, who was inside her home, taking care of her two young children.

**********
Johnson's family members were in court on Monday, there to speak on her behalf.

“I don’t think on behalf of my family that he gets bond, and gets time with his kids. Because my sister doesn’t have that anymore," said Johnson's sister Nynita.

The district attorney argued that Monk was a flight risk and that Johnson was an innocent victim whose children saw what happened.
Monk's attorney asked that he be granted bond with ankle monitoring upon release. The judge denied that request.

Monk's next court hearing is October 23.

Thank you for posting this, I just saw it in the news. Why would he think he could get bond, because he did not intend to shoot and kill Sharelle Johnson? Oh! and this involved a kidnapping of a child.
