District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro said Melvin Clay, 39, was found guilty of second-degree murder and obstruction of justice charges in connection with the fatal stabbing of Sgt. Ryan Lekosky.Authorities said Clay had an argument with Lekosky’s wife at the intersection of Dauphine and Iberville streets in the French Quarter in the early morning hours of Oct. 31, 2010. Investigators said Clay got out of his car and pushed Lekosky’s wife to the ground. Lekosky, who was attired in his dress blues, came to aid of his wife, and that’s when authorities said Clay stabbed him before fleeing the scene.
