Webb’s legal trouble began when Springfield police responded to a call on the 1700 block of Mound Street in September. When they arrived they found a man bleeding from stab wounds on his throat and back and the victim was being treated by a witness.
Officers spoke with people at the home who said Webb was working on cars with the victim before the incident. One man told police he saw Webb standing over the victim with a knife.
“(The witness) was cleaning up after dinner when he heard scuffling and sound coming from (the victim) that ‘wasn’t a scream but something was wrong’,” the affidavit says. “(The witness) went back to investigate and found (Webb) standing over (the victim) (he was on the floor at this point) making large stabbing motions. (The victim) yelled for (the witness to) ‘help me, he’s killing me’”.
