BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Buffalo man was sentenced to 25 years in prison, followed by five years of post-release supervision, for a fatal stabbing in 2022, the Erie County District Attorney’s Office announced Friday.

Around 10:20 p.m. on Dec. 19, 2022, 46-year-old Otis Johnson got into an argument with 56-year-old Katherine Crofton in her Riley Street apartment. During the fight, Johnson stabbed Crofton six times and she died from her injuries.

Johnson was arrested and charged with first-degree manslaughter the next day.

He was sentenced Friday as a second felony offender.
