BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Buffalo man is headed to prison for the deadly stabbing of his girlfriend.

The Erie County District Attorney's Office said on November 4, 2022, 69-year-old James Allen and his girlfriend, 44-year-old Yashika Page, were involved in an argument inside her home on Cambridge Avenue in Buffalo that led to the deadly stabbing.

Allen stabbed Page in the abdomen with a kitchen knife during the argument and after the stabbing, he also got into a physical altercation with an adolescent male. Page was taken by ambulance to ECMC with physical injuries and on November 11, she died.

In January 2025, Allen pleaded guilty to Manslaughter and this week he was sentenced to 15 years in prison, followed by 5 years of post-release supervision.
