A Louisville man was arrested Thursday in connection with a December shooting that wounded his neighbor following an argument over trash on their shared sidewalk, police say.

Anthony W. Hornbeak, 46, allegedly shot his neighbor, a 21-year-old man, in the lower back on Dec. 8, 2019, in the 1500 block of West Ormsby Avenue, according to an arrest citation.

He was arrested on a warrant Thursday at the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis and transferred to Louisville Metro Corrections, according to the citation, which does not provide further details on the arrest.

The victim's sister told police that Hornbeak came to her Park Hill home uninvited that day and confronted her about trash in her yard and on the shared sidewalk, the citation states. Hornbeak lives next door to the victims, according to court records.

After asking Hornbeak to leave, the 27-year-old woman said Hornbeak threatened to physically harm her, according to the arrest report.

The 21-year-old brother intervened, and Hornbeak pulled out a handgun, firing multiple shots at the two victims as they fled into their house, according to police.

The brother was hit once in the lower back and taken to University of Louisville Hospital, where he underwent surgery and has been receiving ongoing medical treatment, according to the arrest citation.

Hornbeak was charged with first-degree assault, first-degree wanton endangerment, possessing a handgun as a convicted felon and tampering with physical evidence, according to court records.

Hornbeak has multiple felony convictions in Indiana going back to 1995 for offenses such as theft, drug possession and domestic battery, according to online court records.

He was transferred to Louisville Metro Corrections. A surety bond has been set at $50,000, according to online court records, with an arraignment hearing scheduled for Friday morning.
