An Indiana man st@bbed his own son in the heart during an argument over dirty dishes in the sink, police say.
The incident happened on Friday, June 14, at their home.
Timothy Ray Lisby, 59, faces an initial charge of aggravated battery and is being held without bond, according to Marion County Jail records.
A family friend who witnessed the grisly death of 31-year-old Christopher Allen Lisby on June 14 believes the father should face m¥rder charges, he told Fox 59.
The case has been turned over to homicide detectives since the battery charge was filed and their investigation is ongoing.
Jeremiah Green told the outlet that after bickering over a pile of dirty dishes, Lisby and his son wrestled each other to the floor inside the mobile home on Dogie Road in Indianapolis.
Then, the father lashed out with cutlery.
“Tim had a spoon in his hand and started st@bbing Chris with it,” Green told the outlet. “Chris said, ‘Jeremiah get the spoon out of his hand,’ so I did.”
Then the father gr@bbed hold of another weapon,, Green said.
“Tim ran in the kitchen and grabbed something shiny, something sharp … and pushed it into Chris’s chest as hard as he could,” Green said.
Green dialed 911, according to the outlet, and Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officers arrived at the scene. There, they found the son with a “bl££ding wound to the chest” in the living room, according to an affidavit filed in the case and obtained by Law & Crime.
Christopher Lisby was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he st@bilized after surgery on his lacerated heart, police said, but succumbed to his injuries the next day.
