Keyshaun Stewart is facing two consecutive life sentences for the shooting that happened back in 2021 on the Watterson Expressway near Dixie Highway. Fred O\u2019Bannon, a father of five, was killed while Louisville Metro Police Department officer Chris Lane was shot in the face.<\/p>\n
Stewart was found guilty but mentally ill of murder, criminal intent to murder, and fleeing or evading police.<\/p>\n
Stewart\u2019s defense argued he was failed by mental health providers across the area. During Friday\u2019s sentencing, his defense argued the sentence should be lowered to 20 years in prison because of his history of mental illness. The defense argued there\u2019s no guarantee Stewart will receive mental health help in prison.<\/p>\n
However, the judge followed the jury\u2019s recommendation and sentenced Stewart to serve two consecutive life sentences in prison.
