Louisville First-Degree Assault Sentences and Case Outcomes
Shaw’s two first-degree-assault terms are 10 years each, concurrent within 35 years total. Mullins’s 20 years are combined, while Banks’s historical probationary outcome cannot establish an isolated current assault sentence.
Kentucky State/Local Scope
These are state records, not federal judgments. The statutory reference does not automatically establish governing law at a historical offense date. Offense degree must come from the disposition, not injuries or an initial accusation.
Selected Records
| Record | Reported location | Outcome and scope | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Russell Mullins | September 18, 2014 Main Street, KFC Yum! Center | 20 years assault/endangerment/DUI total; no target allocation | Record source |
| Andre Banks | Fern Creek school shooting, September 2014 | Historical 18-year combined suspended/probationary outcome; five years probation and 100 days home incarceration; later operative result unverified | Record source |
| Desmond Deshawn Shaw | July 22, 2024 Jefferson County; earlier news Fourth/East Oak | 10 years on each of two assault counts, concurrent within 35-year total | Record source |
Mullins: Plea Versus Sentence
The WAVE report distinguishes the October plea from the December 7, 2015 formal sentencing. The total covers first-degree assault, wanton endangerment and DUI; it is not an allocated assault count. This report does not establish a homicide conviction.
Banks: Historical Probation, Later Outcome Open
The May 2016 WAVE sentencing report describes home incarceration. Its October 2016 follow-up recalls the probationary structure but reports proposed revocation proceedings and a continuance, not a completed revocation judgment. No later prison term, current probation status or guaranteed release is inferred. The older WDRB link now redirected to a homepage during this check. The target degree/count and operative later outcome require the judgment.
Shaw: Two Concurrent Target Counts
The official prosecutor report supplies the two target terms, not 35 years on each assault. The earlier location report is not proof of the later sentence. This is the same prosecution as the criminal-mischief guide.
Comparison Limits
Relevant court-copy, prosecutor and news passages were read September 28, 2026 UTC (September 29 in Istanbul); secondary news is not a primary judgment. Count terms, probation conditions and fines are not interchangeable with aggregate prison terms. Full later-docket, historical-law and independent precise municipal-point checks remain open. Louisville Metro or county jurisdiction alone does not certify an incorporated-city offense point. Shared records, victims and counts are not additional independent clusters, and no numerical citywide range is calculated.
These selected reported records are not all Louisville cases, an average, a typical sentence or a prediction. Imposed terms and unsuspended portions do not establish time actually served or a release date. Read the case-selection methodology, editorial standards and Louisville sentencing hub. This is general information, not legal advice.
