LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Louisville man is facing 20 years behind bars for stabbing another man to death with a machete.
Wednesday, prosecutors said a Jefferson County jury found Elvis Anderson, 59, guilty of stabbing Davon Banks, 30, to death in July 2022, and injuring two other people.
According to Louisville Metro Police, Anderson showed up at a home on Garland Avenue in the city's California neighborhood with a wooden stick and got into a fight with Banks.
During the fight, police said Anderson reportedly took a machete from Banks and attacked Banks and two women who prosecutors said were Anderson's neighbors.
