Boyfriend Stabbed Framingham Woman To Death: Middlesex DA

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A 27-year-old woman was stabbed and killed in her Framingham apartment on Monday night, and now her boyfriend is facing a murder charge in connection to her death.

The Middlesex District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday charged Christopher McKoy, 25, with murder and assault and battery with a deadly weapon for killing Jamee Ammons-Maddrey, 27.

Framingham police went to Ammons-Maddrey's Interfaith Terrace apartment on Monday at around 5:30 p.m. to do a welfare check on the request of her family. Inside, they found Ammons-Maddrey dead of multiple stab wounds.

McKoy was with Ammons-Maddrey late Sunday night and into early Monday morning, according to officials. He was arrested Monday night in Boston after removing a GPS tracking device he was wearing in connection to another crime.

Officials did not immediately release a motive in the killing. McKoy is being held in jail, but an arraignment date has not been set.

Ammons-Maddrey's death was the first homicide in Framingham in several years.

On Thursday night at a community meeting about crime in the Nobscot neighborhood, Framingham Chief Steve Trask noted that the city has not had a homicide in many years.

In March 2015, Michelle Batista was killed in a murder-suicide by her boyfriend, Allen Murphy, 27, at an apartment along 2nd Street.

In 2013, a 21-year-old man was shot and killed during a drug deal. There were two killings in the city in 2009 — one at Callahan State Park, and another at a home along Grant Street.
