Conviction for fatal stabbing in St. Joseph

A St. Joseph man has been convicted of fatally stabbing a woman at a St. Joseph bar where she worked.
Eliseo Hernandez-Sebastian was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder, first-degree assault and two counts of armed criminal action.
Police say Hernandez-Sebastian stabbed James Cleveland, who had asked him to leave the Legend's Sports Bar and Grill in February. Cleveland was treated and released at a hospital.
Thirty-eight-year-old Terra Welch-Reents, a bartender at the bar, was not aware Cleveland had been stabbed when she also told Hernandez-Sebastian to leave.
Welch-Reents was stabbed in the neck and died from her injuries.
