Josue Flores stabbed: The Salvation Army says it will not reopen North Main men’s home after a convicted murderer was seen walking in

The Nordmain location, which was closed in 2018, will instead house administrative offices and other services, according to official information.

The Salvation Army released a statement admitting the shelter was becoming a drain on the Northside community.
