don't ask!It took a Ouachita Parish Jury four minutes to find a Monroe man guilty of attempted second degree murder.
46-year-old Tommy Davis has been convicted for trying to kill his girlfriend, Victoria Moore. Police say Moore was stabbed multiple times and found her in a bedroom, holding her chest. Witnesses said Davis was dragging Moore around while stabbing her. Police said there was a large amount of blood in the hallway, leading up to the bedroom. The District Attorney's office says Davis was upset that Moore had broken up with him. When Davis began attacking Moore, she was holding their 6 month old baby.
