A tragic incident unfolded in Niagara Falls in the early morning hours of Sunday, March 24th, which has now resulted in the arrest of a local woman after she fatally stabbed her mother.
Authorities responded to an emergency call around 3:30am at an apartment on Main Street where they discovered an unresponsive woman on the floor. The victim, later identified as Genevieve Blackwell, was found at the scene alongside a detained suspect.
Investigators revealed that a confrontation had taken place between 29-year-old Seleste Bomberry and her mother, which escalated into a violent altercation. During the dispute, Blackwell sustained fatal stab wounds. Responding officers attempted life-saving measures, but despite their efforts she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Blackwell, described by family and friends as a devoted mother and grandmother, had recently moved back to Niagara Falls to be closer to her loved ones. In her memory, the Niagara Falls chapter of the Kingsmen M.C. will host a benefit event on April 19th at 5pm at 2410 Cudaback Avenue to support funeral and burial expenses.
Bomberry has been charged with second-degree murder in connection with the incident. Authorities urge anyone with information to reach out to the Niagara Falls Police Criminal Investigation Division at (716) 286-4553 or call the general information line at (716) 286-4711.
