WE\u2019LL SEE MORE CLOUDS BUILDING IN FOLLOWED BY SHOWERS MID TO LATE MORNING. SO AROUND THIS TIME IT WILL BE DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE RADAR WILL LIGHT UP WITH POTENTIALLY SOME STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS. I\u2019LL SHOW YOU WHAT COULD SLOW THAT DOWN OR EVEN ENHANCE THAT RISK AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. THAT\u2019S COMING UP IN YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. JILL. THANK YOU. A WOMAN SEEKING ASYLUM WAS RELEASED FROM ICE CUSTODY AND DIED FROM HYPOTHERMIA AT A BUS STOP. NOW HER DEATH HAS BEEN RULED A HOMICIDE. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR WAS THE FIRST TO BRING YOU THE STORY OF DAPHNE MICHELLE. HER FAMILY CONTINUING TO FIGHT FOR ANSWERS. OUR JENNY CHAPMAN HAS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS CASE, THE FAMILY OF 31 YEAR-OLD DAPHNE. MICHELLE SAYS THEY ARE SADDENED TO HEAR THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER\u2019S OFFICE RULED THEIR LOVED ONE\u2019S DEATH A HOMICIDE, AND THEY SAY SHE DIED OF HYPOTHERMIA. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THAT SHE WAS FREEZING AND THAT SHE WAS COLD. FOR HER TO HAVE TO SUFFER IN THAT TYPE OF WAY IN A COUNTRY LIKE THIS, NO, IT\u2019S NOT FAIR. AND IT DOESN\u2019T MAKE SENSE. MICHELLE\u2019S COUSIN LINDA MICHELLE, SAYS AFTER THIS RULING, THEY HAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS FOR THE IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, AND THEY WANT JUSTICE. IT\u2019S VERY HEARTBREAKING TO KNOW THAT MY FAMILY WAS ABLE TO COME TO AMERICA IN GOOD CIRCUMSTANCES AND HAVE NOT HAVING ANY LEGAL ISSUES AT THE TIME, AND WAS HAVING MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ONLY FOR HER TO DIE IN SUCH A SENSELESS WAY. WHAT HAPPENED? WHY? WHY DID SHE HAVE TO DIE THAT WAY? MICHELLE\u2019S LIFE ENDED ON MARCH 2ND AT A HOSPITAL AFTER SHE WAS FOUND LYING ON THE GROUND, UNRESPONSIVE AT A SOUTH SIDE BUS STOP. HER BROTHER LIVES IN CHARLEROI AND WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP FROM THE WASHINGTON COUNTY JAIL, WHERE SHE SPENT THE PAST SIX MONTHS BEHIND BARS ON MISDEMEANOR CHARGES THAT WERE EVENTUALLY DISMISSED. HE HAD NO IDEA AN ICE CONTAINER WOULD CAUSE THE HAITIAN IMMIGRANT TO BE RELEASED TO ICE. SHE WAS BOOKED AND ENROLLED IN THE ALTERNATIVES TO DETENTION PROGRAM, RELEASED WITH AN ANKLE MONITOR, AND EVENTUALLY FOUND AT THAT BUS STOP. THE FAMILY\u2019S ATTORNEY SAYS MICHELLE SHOULD STILL BE ALIVE. YOU KNOW, WHEN THIS IS ALL OVER, WE\u2019RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT LIFE BACK. AND IT MAY BE TIME TO SLOW DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL WITH ENFORCEMENT. HER FAMILY SAYS SHE SUFFERED FROM MENTAL HEALTH AND NEEDED HELP. THAT DOES NOT MAKE THAT PERSON LESS OF A PERSON. THAT WAS CHANDI CHAPMAN REPORTING. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR HAS CONTACTED ICE. WE ARE WAITING FOR THEM TO ANSWER SOME OF OUR QUESTIONS. WE ALSO REACHED OUT TO THE ALLEGHENY COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY\u2019S OFFICE ABOUT CHARGES BEING FILED. MEANTIME, LOCAL LAWMAKERS ARE REACTING TO THESE NEW DETAILS, INCLUDING CONGRESSWOMAN SUMMER LEE, WHO SAID, QUOTE, DAPHNE, MICHELLE WAS A HUMAN BEING. SHE HAPPENED TO BE BORN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF A BORDER, BUT SHE WAS NO LESS WORTHY OF CARE, SAFETY AND DIGNITY. ALLEGHENY COUNTY EXECUTIVE SARA INNAMORATO SAID IN PART, QUOTE, THE DEATH OF MISS DAPHNE MICHELLE WAS A TRAGEDY, AND IT APPEARS THAT WITH A LITTLE HUMANITY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE. NOW, THIS IS A CASE THAT WE\u2019VE BEEN FOLLOWING FOR MONTHS. YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT MICHELLE AND THE COMMUNITY\u2019S RESPONSE TO HER DEATH ON WTAE.COM. WE HAVE NEW DETAILS ABOUT A THREE VEHICLE CRASH THAT KILLED ONE WOMAN IN VENANGO TOWNSHIP, BUTLER COUNTY. ACCORDING TO THE COUNTY CORONER, IT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE 530 NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF WOODS ROAD AND ONEIDA VALLEY ROAD. STATE POLICE SAY THE WOMAN WAS DRIVING NORTH WHEN HER VEHICLE CROSSED INTO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE AND HIT TWO VEHICLES. SHE WAS TRAPPED INSIDE AND DIED AT THE SCENE. ANOTHER PASSENGER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE WOMAN WHO DIED HAS NOT YET BEEN RELEASED. NEW THIS MORNING, LOCAL HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY A MAN FELL ABOUT 30 TO 40FT AT THE ROBERT MORRIS UNIVERSITY CAMPUS IN MOON TOWNSHIP. THE VALLEY AMBULANCE AUTHORITY SAYS IT WAS REPORTED AROUND NOON YESTERDAY. THEY SAY THE MAN SUFFERED LIFE THREATENING INJURIES AND FIRST RESPONDERS PERFORMED LIFE SAVING MEASURES BEFORE THE MAN WAS FLOWN TO A NEARBY TRAUMA CENTER IN A HELICOPTER. WE\u2019RE WORKING TO GET AN UPDATE ON HIS CONDITION THIS MORNING. ALSO NEW THIS MORNING, WE\u2019RE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MAN CHARGED AFTER A SWAT SITUATION IN PITTSBURGH\u2019S HOMEWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD YESTERDAY. ACCORDING TO A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT, POLICE SAY A KEEL HODGE WAS TRYING TO GET INTO A HOUSE ON PINE RIDGE STREET YESTERDAY MORNING, AND HE THREATENED HIS SISTER, WHO CALLED POLICE. POLICE SAY HODGE HAD OUTSTANDING WARRANTS AND KNOWN MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THE COMPLAINT STATES. HE SET TWO SEPARATE FIRES WHILE OFFICERS WERE INSIDE THE HOME AND ALLEGEDLY SPIT ON TWO MEDICS AND THREE SWAT OFFICERS. AFTER BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. HODGE FACES CHARGES INCLUDING AGGRAVATED ARSON AND ASSAULT OF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. YOUR TIME NOW IS 908. IRAN AND UNITED STATES ARE REPORTING PROGRESS ON PEACE TALKS AFTER TRADING STRIKES AND SEVERAL THREATS OF ESCALATION THIS WEEK. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JACKIE DEFUSCO JOINS US NOW. AND, JACKIE, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP PREVIOUSLY SAID A DEAL COULD BE SIGNED THIS WEEKEND. IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN? NO SIGNING CEREMONY HAS BEEN SET SO FAR. BUT THE LEAD MEDIATOR IN THESE NEGOTIATIONS IS NOW CONVEYING THAT PEACE HAS NEVER BEEN CLOSER. PAKISTAN\u2019S PRIME MINISTER CONFIRMED ON FRIDAY THAT THE FINAL TEXT OF A DEAL HAD BEEN REACHED, AND THAT THEY WERE WORKING WITH THE UNITED STATES AND IRAN TO FIGURE OUT NEXT STEPS. NOW, THE TEXT IS NOT PUBLIC YET, BUT A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OFFICIAL SAID THAT IRAN\u2019S NUCLEAR PROGRAM WOULD BE DISMANTLED AS PART OF THIS DEAL. THE EXACT PROCESS FOR REMOVING THAT NUCLEAR MATERIAL WOULD STILL NEED TO BE WORKED OUT DURING ANOTHER 60 DAY PERIOD, THE U.S. OFFICIALS SAY, WOULD WITHHOLD FINANCIAL RELIEF UNTIL IRAN COMPLIES. NOW, IRAN CLAIMED FRIDAY THAT THE INITIAL AGREEMENT WOULD END THE WAR ON ALL FRONTS, BUT ISRAEL HAS SAID IT\u2019S NOT PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND HAS NOT COMMITTED TO WITHDRAW FROM LEBANON. THE DEAL WOULD ALSO OPEN UP THAT CRUCIAL OIL SHIPPING ROUTE, THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. AND DESPITE THESE REPORTS OF PROGRESS ON A PEACE DEAL, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND DID SAY LAST NIGHT THAT THEY HAD RECENTLY DOWNED SEVERAL IRANIAN ATTACK DRONES AROUND THE STRAIT, UNDERSCORING JUST HOW FRAGILE THE SITUATION STILL IS. IN WASHINGTON, I\u2019M JACKIE DEFUSCO. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. A LIVE LOOK AT THE KENNEDY CENTER IN OUR NATION\u2019S CAPITAL, WHERE CREWS BEGAN WORKING OVERNIGHT TO REMOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP\u2019S NAME FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE BUILDING. THE CENTER IS ASKING FOR MORE TIME AFTER MISSING THE MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT DEADLINE TO COMPLY WITH A JUDGE\u2019S ORDER AND REMOVE IT. THE CENTER CLAIMS THE WORK IS ONGOING, SAYING STORMS IN THE AREA DELAYED THE WORK. THE JUDGE HAS NOT YET RESPONDED TO THE CENTER\u2019S REQUEST FOR MORE TIME. CREWS EXPECT TO FULLY REMOVE TRUMP\u2019S NAME BY NOON TODAY. WELL, HERE AT HOME, THE DEBATE OVER THE FREE SPEECH FENCE CONTINUES AT CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY THIS MORNING. LAST YEAR, THE CMU ADMINISTRATION MADE THE CONTROVERSIAL DECISION TO PAINT OVER A MESSAGE ON THE FENCE DIRECTED AT PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. SINCE THEN, CMU LEADERS ASKED A RESEARCH GROUP TO GIVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW THIS LONG STANDING TRADITION SHOULD BE MONITORED. WELL, THE GROUP RELEASED A 40 PAGE REPORT, BUT STUDENT GROUPS SAY IT\u2019S NOT CLEAR ENOUGH. CARNEGIE MELLON YOUNG AMERICANS FOR LIBERTY IS A GROUP ASKING CMU TO DECIDE ON ROBUST GUIDELINES FOR THE FENCE. THEY DESCRIBE THE REPORT AS INTENTIONALLY VAGUE. WE REACHED OUT TO CMU OFFICIALS AND HAVE NOT YET HEARD BACK. TODAY IN SPRINGDALE, ALLEGHENY COUNTY, A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE A PROPOSED DATA CENTER SAY THEY\u2019RE HOLDING A MARCH AT RACHEL CARSON BRIDGE PARK THAT\u2019S SET TO BEGIN AT 1 P.M. THE DATA CENTER WOULD SIT ON THE LAND ONCE HELD BY THE CHESAPEAKE POWER PLANT.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
