Friends and family of the victim, Natasha Gonsalves, filled two rows of benches in the courtroom this morning. Some wore shirts with a photo of Gonsalves screen printed on them, her name airbrushed on the corner. Abimbola Johnson will continue to be held at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston, where she has been since March 20. In District Court this morning, Judge Elaine Bucci said that the waiver rests on the condition that Johnson is indicted by June 30. If not, she will be granted a new bail hearing. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson, with reports from Journal staff writer Talia Buford Police say Gonsalves and friends followed Johnson home from work the night of the stabbing. Johnson went into her home on Pepin Street, according to the police, and came back outside with a kitchen knife in her waistband. After she returned, according to police, the two women argued some more, and Gonsalves charged Johnson. Johnson allegedly pulled the knife from the back of her waistband, stabbing Gonsalves. Officers received two calls in connection with the incident – one reporting a disturbance and another reporting a stabbing. The police arrived to find neighbors tending to Gonsalves, who was on the ground in front of Johnson's house.
