BROOKLYN, NY – A Williamsburg man was sentenced Monday to 22 years to life in prison for fatally stabbing his pregnant wife in their apartment, a sentence that will run consecutively to another 22-years-to-life term he is already serving for killing his former wife in upstate New York.
Prosecutors said the man used a screwdriver to stab his wife multiple times in the neck before fleeing the city.
The victim, a city Department of Homeless Services police officer, was found by her twin teenage daughters lying unresponsive in the doorway of her bedroom.
The defendant, Timothy Taylor, 38, was sentenced by Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Warin after pleading guilty in October to second-degree murder.
He was already serving time for the murder of his former wife, Tishawn Folkes-Taylor, 44, who was killed in her Schenectady home just weeks after the Brooklyn attack.
Across the region, Country club office manager accused of stealing more than $300K in massive cash scheme.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said Taylor’s crimes represented a shocking pattern of domestic violence that took the lives of two mothers within weeks.
Gonzalez said the case underscores his office’s commitment to prosecuting intimate partner violence “vigorously,” adding that Taylor will now serve a total of 44 years to life in prison.
Police found Theresa Gregg, 37, dead on May 13, 2023, at 356 Bedford Avenue, where her daughters discovered her body surrounded by blood and a screwdriver nearby. Emergency crews pronounced her dead at the scene.
Taylor was later arrested in Philadelphia on June 2, 2023, following a multistate search.
