Men died of stab wounds, according to medical examiner

LEWISTON — Autopsy results were released Tuesday on the bodies of two local men who died after fighting outside a Blake Street apartment early Saturday morning.

The state Medical Examiner's Office reported that Alfred Jermaine Kelly, 29, died of a single stab wound to the chest. The man he was fighting, Bobbie Lee Evans, 32, died of multiple stab wounds.

Kelly was stabbed with a folding pocket knife and Evans with a kitchen knife, said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine State Police.

The two men reportedly argued at a local club in the early morning hours. The altercation later spilled over to Evans' apartment on Blake Street. The two stabbed each other around 1:30 a.m., and each died within minutes. One man was taken to Central Maine Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead; the other died at the scene.

McCausland said the knives were being analyzed at the state crime lab in Augusta.

GIMME A BREAK

Why in the world would this need to go to the States Medical Examiners office ????? What a waste of tax dollars, that is the tax dollars that are paid in by people who actually work in this state .... not the likes of these guys. Like I have said all along we have such nasty trashy low life people in Lewiston !!!

"Like I have said all along

"Like I have said all along we have such nasty trashy low life people in Lewiston"!!!
That's a pretty broad brush girl; a cheap shot to an awfully large number of good, hard working people. Yes, there is an element that is less than desirable, but they represent a huge minority and by no means do they define the type of City that Lewiston is.

All Men are Equal in Death; The First as the Last

"When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care
Plod on, and each one as before will chase
His favorite phantom; yet all these shall leave
Their mirth and their employments, and shall come
And make their bed with thee. As the long train
Of ages glides away, the sons of men--
The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes
In the full strength of years, matron and maid,
The speechless babe, and the grayheaded man--
Shall one by one be gathered to thy side,
By those who in their turn shall follow them."

From William Cullen Bryant's poem: Thanatopsis

Means a few things ...

Death is an equalizer, death is inevitable for all -don't mock it as you'll be there too, no matter what you do-it doesn't matter upon death, look down on your dead neighbor -but soon you will be on the same level, also -in death you can't bring your snowmobile, flat-screen tv's and gold chains, cigarettes, etc, ... basicly, nothing matters, we're all gonna die -so be nice and play nice, we're all equal and no one is better than the other in the end-game, have a heart, compassion and a conscious, quit being so snarky, hateful and judgemental, make whirled peas, appreciate life and respect the dead.

Like the great Eastern

Like the great Eastern philosopher, Filmore West, once said, "It may be the greatest show on Earth (life), but there ain't nobody gettin' out alive."

Which one's family are you praying for?

There were two of them you know.

Besides, do you think that saying "my heart, thoughts, and prayers are with his family and friends" really make any difference or console the family?

Get real. Touchy feely sentimensts are worthless. If you really want to console the families, then send them some flowers or a card......thoughts by themselves are worthless to the families.

You are one strange lady

Your last post made no sense at all.

Are you one of those Wiccan witches? Or a New Age crystal/fortune reader?

Whatever else you are, you are one weird person.

What give you the right?

Unless you Are a member of the deceased family I dont believe you have any right to condemn what she has written or said...How do you know it means nothing to there family?

fatandhappy's picture

Are you suggesting that she has ESP

and that she can project her thoughts and feelings to people she doesn't even know?

You tell me how her thoughts and feelings will help the families.

With all the bad things that

With all the bad things that have been said about these men I would think that the families DO appreciate it when something good is said....It appears that you are just trying to cause hate and discontent....Maybe you are part of the problem in Lewiston?....Could that be the driving force in your so hateful posts?.....And how do you know She doesnt know them? She does make reference to knowing the families in a previous post??

tyvm i appreciate it and ty

tyvm i appreciate it and ty for pointing it out. all too often here on sj-many people are too quick to judge and condemn when they know NOTHING about a person(s) in the stories or in a commenters life. its sad... not for me though. i am not like that. its too bad when someone wishes ill will towards another or tries to make pop shots... i just know i'm not the one that is 'miserable' (i'm not specifically referring to the one(s) who commented-just in general). i just hope that they never have to endure this pain. its just too much to bear. if others took one minute to know what i've been through and those i love have been through just this past month (or summer) i am afraid to say that they would still be crast and seemingly hateful. this only adds burden and pain to my already fragile and heavy heart. i guess it goes to show that i know... and they know... and that is all that truly matters. i certainly do not owe an explanation to anyone... and i didn't have to partially explain. i just wish people could really see the bigger picture of things and open their eyes and their heart to normal, regular everyday people going through traumatic/tough times of losing loved ones. may god, mother earth, higher power, (good) karma-whatever it may be-be with you all.

Isnt it something.....

Queen I am so sorry life has been so horrible for you and your right you owe NOBODY any kind of explanation. But you do a great job handling the people on here and/or in your life that are a negative power. You seem to have a great faith and that obvious keeps you going.
I really hate it when people who dont know all the facts are so quick to judge and to think they know whats going on. Regardless of how these two men died they still have families who ARE innocent victims of each offender. They did not ask to be in this and im sure they wish they werent but they are.
