But police said it appears the knife and bat fight was the result of a domestic dispute. Officers believe Johnny Ray Pope, 23 of Pulaski, and his estranged wife both brought friends to a meeting they had arranged. The fight, involving at least one knife and a bat, then broke out, Police Commander Ed Hogston said.
Windle Jackson Edwards Jr., 31, was found dead on Valley Street near the Pulaski Market just after 1 a.m. Sunday.
No charges have been placed in his death yet as police continue to review the case.
Pope and Terrance Wade Edwards, 29, of Dublin - charged with the malicious wounding of Tony Wayne Covey - were both released on bond Tuesday, Hogston said.
Covey, 26, of Wytheville, remains at Roanoke Memorial Hospital, where he was taken for treatment of a stab wound and head trauma. Hogston said Covey faces charges of maliciously wounding Charles T. Crowder III. Crowder, 27, was taken to Pulaski Community Hospital Sunday for a stab wound to the abdomen.
David Eugene Covey, 24, of Pulaski, was treated for a broken nose at Radford Community Hospital and released.
