LOUISVILLE, Ky. —

A verdict has been reached in the trial of Keyshaun Stewart.

He was found guilty, but mentally ill, of murder, assault, possession of a handgun by a felon, wanton endangerment, persistent offender and fleeing police.

The case stems from a November 2021 ambush on the Watterson Expressway/I-264.

A construction worker, Fred O’Bannon, was killed and LMPD Sgt. Chris Lane was shot in the face, but he survived.
