Tarrant County inmate charged with murder after punching pregnant hospital staff member
While the pregnant hospital staff member was standing next to the inmate's bed, authorities say she punched her in the stomach. Later, an ultrasound determined that the unborn child no longer had a pulse.
Tarrant County Commissioner Manny Ramirez said Temptations has "a clear pattern of dangerous criminal activity," including "multiple homicides, numerous aggravated assaults, and dozens of drug related offenses."
He has called for the business to be closed down due to the criminal activity it brings.
"This business has caused damage to our Tarrant County communities for too long. Enough is enough," Ramirez said in a statement.
