\nA Louisville man convicted in June of killing the mother of his child was sentenced to life in prison by a judge last week.<\/p>\n
The jury convicted 35 year-old Christopher Gordon on several charges, including murder, assault and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon in connection with the case from February 2022. Gordon shot 38-year-old Angelica James multiple times at a home in the 4100 block of Quiet Way. <\/p>\n
Investigators said Gordon also shot their 10-year-old son in the hand and wrist, and the child’s back was grazed by a bullet. <\/p>\n
After the shooting, police said Gordon took off in a Ford F-150 with his 2-year-old. An Amber Alert was briefly issued, but the child was eventually found safe. The vehicle Gordon was driving was found abandoned on Taylor Boulevard. <\/p>\n
Gordon was arrested near Pleasure Ridge Park after a 4-day manhunt. <\/p>\n
Court records show Gordon has a history of violence, a series of guilty pleas and leaving prison long before serving his sentences. His criminal history shows he has pleaded guilty to domestic violence, assault and reckless homicide.<\/p>\n
Gordon was on Misdemeanor Intensive Probation, a heightened level of probation, on the day of the murder. <\/p>\n
With the conviction, the jury recommended that Gordon serve life in prison for the murder and assault charges, as well as a charge of being a persistent felony offender.
