LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville man is facing charges in connection to a shooting, and it allegedly started over a food dispute.
Louisville Metro Police Department arrested 56-year-old Kenneth Beals on Sunday. He’s charged with assault and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon.
A woman was brought to the hospital Sunday around 7 p.m. with a gunshot wound to her arm. Police said the shooting happened in the Park Hill neighborhood.
According to an arrest slip, the woman told police her aunt had seen Beals eating a snack that was for her children.
When Beals was leaving the home, the woman confronted him about eating the snack. Beals replied by saying “Yes, I ate your snack, and it was good,” before pulling out a handgun and shooting the woman, according to the arrest slip.
Police said the victim and witnesses identified Beals as the shooter.
His next court date is set for Jan. 6.
