Buffalo man charged with murder, accused of stabbing woman to death

A Buffalo man is facing a second-degree murder charge following a reported domestic violence incident.

Buffalo Police responded to a home on the 300 block of Rhode Island Street Monday, after neighbors called to report possible domestic violence. Responding officers say they found a 29-year-old unidentified woman with stab wounds inside the home. She was later pronounced dead at the scene.

The suspect was also found at the scene suffering from self-inflicted wounds, according to police. He was taken to ECMC and remains in critical condition.

On Tuesday, the Erie County District Attorney's Office announced that 46-year-old Antonio Prieto was arraigned at the hospital.

Prieto faces a maximum sentence of 25 years to life in prison when he returns for a felony hearing on August 30.
