[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - Kevon Johnson, 30, was arraigned on a third-degree assault charge on Monday as police claim he fatally hit Carlyle Thomas, 61, in the face at a gas station in Brooklyn
- His death was ruled as a homicide, but the suspect only faces an assault charge due to a law that only allows for charges relating to the punch to be brought
- Johnson was released without bail because statewide bail reforms in 2020 made the misdemeanor charge ineligible for bail, a law enforcement source said
