A Kearney man faces charges after attempting to murder a man. Around 1:57am Saturday, March 30, 2024, Kearney Police were called to an assault and stabbing in progress at a residence in the 1900 block of West 38th Drive.
Chance Sanders, 23, is charged in Buffalo County Court with attempted first-degree murder and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
An arrest affidavit detailing the case has been sealed, but a complaint outlining the charges says that last Friday, Sanders attempted to murder a 47-year-old man “purposely and with deliberate and premeditated malice” at the victim’s home in the 1900 block of West 38th Drive.
Upon Officers arrival, they observed two male subjects and a female subject outside of the residence. A 47-year-old male subject was laying on the ground and was suffering from multiple stab wounds from a knife to his upper torso. An ambulance was immediately summoned for the injured subject and he was transported to a local hospital where he was treated and released for multiple stab wounds. The female subject was not injured, however the suspect intentionally caused damage to her vehicle.
The second male subject was identified as twenty-three-year-old Chance Sanders, of Kearney and the suspect in the assault, stabbing, and vehicle damage. Sanders was arrested and lodged at the Buffalo County Jail for Attempted Homicide, 1st Degree Assault, Use of a Weapon to Commit a Felony, and Criminal Mischief.
