LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man was arrested for allegedly stabbing his father to death Thursday afternoon after an argument in the city's Newburg neighborhood.
Louisville Metro Police spokesperson John Bradley said officers responded to the report of a stabbing around 2:45 p.m. in the 4100 block of Quiet Way, between Preston Highway and Poplar Level Road.
Once on scene, they found a man suffering from multiple stab wounds, who was pronounced dead at the scene. He has not yet been identified.
Eddieser Machin, 33, was later arrested and charged with murder - domestic violence and tampering with physical evidence in the stabbing.
According to an arrest citation, witnesses at the scene told police the victim and his son, Machin, were arguing over "concerns of the suspect cooking safely in the house and was told to cook outside instead."
Police said a witness who was in the home at the time said he heard the victim and Machin arguing and went upstairs, where he saw Machin lifting weights in the backyard before coming back upstairs and into his room.
Less than an hour later, the witness told police he heard the victim's wife and mother-in-law screaming outside, where the victim was found stabbed to death, the arrest report said.
Officers responding to the scene found Machin in his room with suspected blood on his shoes and clothing. He was taken to LMPD's Homicide Unit for questioning. Police then obtained a search warrant and searched the home where they found "what appeared to be the possible murder weapon" with suspected blood on it under the mattress of the same room they found Machin in previously.
Machin is being held at Metro Corrections and will be arraigned in court Friday morning.
Anyone who may have information in the case is asked to call the LMPD crime tip line at 502-574-LMPD (574-5673). Tips can also be submitted anonymously through LMPD's Crime Tip Portal.
