A man wanted for robbing a bank in West Carrollton and another in Tennessee was killed Tuesday by sheriff's deputies in Kentucky who were looking for a different man.

Albert William Keyes, 53, was wanted on a federal warrant for robbing West Carrollton's U.S. Bank on Feb. 7.

Published reports say Keyes was living in a trailer in Louisville where another man wanted on a different felony warrant lived six months ago. WDRB in Louisville reports that Keyes wouldn't give his identity to law enforcement, then fled the Bluegrass Mobile Home Park in a vehicle.

The station said after Keyes got out of his vehicle in the parking lot of a nearby business, he allegedly pulled a knife and that's when he was shot to death by two Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies. Another deputy tried CPR, but was unsuccessful in reviving Keyes. A deputy coroner said Keyes was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m. Tuesday from multiple gunshot wounds.
