The jury trial started Monday for a Twentynine Palms man accused of stabbing and killing a Marine. On February 5, 2018, William Olivo, 27, is accused of stabbing and killing Dominique Clement, 21, in Clement’s apartment in the 74400 block of Joe Davis Drive in Twentynine Palms. When deputies arrived at the scene, they found Olivo outside the apartment holding a knife. Dominique Clement died at the Naval Hospital on the base a few hours after he was stabbed. William Olivo is facing charges of murder, assault with a deadly weapon, making criminal threats, and attempting to intimidate a witness. Clement was a Marine stationed at the Marine Corps Communication-Electronics School on board the Combat Center in Twentynine Palms at the time of his death, and Olivo was discharged from the Marine Corps in 2015.
