BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Niagara County District Attorney's Office announced that 38-year-old Chanel N. Groom pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in County Court on Wednesday.
According to the DA, Groom admitted to killing 36-year-old Timothy Day inside her home in Niagara Falls on June 1, 2024. The DA said Day died as a result of a single stab wound to the chest.
Groom is scheduled to be sentenced on March 25 and faces up to 18 years in prison.
“This domestic incident was quickly escalated by the defendant to extreme violence. There was no reason for Mr. Day to lose his life that night.”
