LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (WLKY) — Two men charged with murder in the Russell neighborhood appeared in court Thursday, and it ended up with one of them receiving an additional charge.
Joshua Langlois and Leangelo Sullivan were both arraigned for murder and assault.
Police say the two men shot and killed Quantay Workman and injured another person on May 14 in the 1000 block of Magazine Street.
Langlois was arrested at Dismas Charities on Wednesday, where he was under supervision for a federal drug conviction.
As Sullivan was leaving the courtroom Thursday, he kissed a woman who was arrested along with him in a different case during a traffic stop. This was despite a no-contact order being in place.
The judge called Sullivan back into the courtroom, where he was found in contempt.
“Excuse me! Hey, I don’t know what just happened, but that needs to be addressed immediately,” said Judge Tanisha Hickerson. “Who is this right here? Who is this third young lady right here? Cause this is an issue. I don’t know why you thought you were special that you could do something like that but you cannot. The boldness of it all, that’s going to get you 10 days to serve.”
Both men will be back in court in the murder case next week.
