(KAIR)--A Leavenworth man, who stabbed a man who then shot him, was found guilty following a single-day jury trial in Leavenworth County District Court Monday.

46-year-old Marquis Holmes was found guilty by a jury on a charge of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm.

According to a release from Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson, the charge stems from when Holmes, on August 18, 2018, went inside a Leavenworth residence, in the area of 10th and Miami Street, and stabbed his victim, 33-year-old Shawn Hiatt, of Leavenworth, twice in the upper hip area.

Holmes fled on foot, with Hiatt, who followed him out of the residence, seeing Holmes as he entered an SUV, with the stabbing victim then shooting Holmes.

Hiatt was convicted of the shooting in April, 2019, and was sentenced to four-years in prison.

Sentencing for Holmes is scheduled for next month.
