They left her apartment together, arriving at Howard School around 9:30 in the morning. Taylor Satterfield drove Breasia Hubbard’s bronze Dodge Durango. Hubbard, then an 18-year-old high school senior, said she went to class.
Hubbard said Satterfield planned to go home, take a shower. Home meant Highland Park, near 12th and Holly streets.
But prosecutors say Satterfield drove to College Hill Courts, where he fatally shot the mother of his children, Keiara Patton, 20, during an argument in her apartment on May 13, 2014. Afterward, he fled to dispose of evidence, they said.
Satterfield, now 22, walked into Hamilton County Criminal Court on Tuesday dressed in a white button-down shirt and a tie for the opening day of his first-degree murder trial. Seated between his public defenders, Coty Wamp and Ted Engel, Satterfield watched as prosecutors called numerous witnesses who placed him at the scene.
When Satterfield was arrested in May 2014, he told different stories: First, that Patton had texted him May 12 to say she was kicking him out of her apartment. When Satterfield arrived the next morning, he found Patton dead on the kitchen floor.
