Yonkers Man Indicted in Connection with Girlfriend's Murder

Yonkers resident Nathaniel Grant, 49, was indicted Thursday in connection with the April stabbing death of his then girlfriend Carol Finch, 56, Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore announced.

Grant, who was found naked and bloodied after the incident, was charged with:

• one count of Murder in the Second Degree, a class “A” Felony,
• one count of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Third Degree, a class “D” Felony.

According to DiFiore, on April 1, at approximately 5:30 a.m., the Yonkers Police Department responded to several 911 calls describing a bloodied, naked man walking down Warburton Avenue.

When police arrived on the scene, they found Grant had multiple punctures and lacerations on his stomach, legs, arms and hands, and he was taken to an area hospital.

Police later found Finch dead in their apartment on Glenwood Avenue; “she had been stabbed multiple times including wounds to her heart, lungs and liver,” according to DiFiore.

Before Grant was discovered, neighbors told police they heard what they thought was the victim’s voice calling for help.

Grant was taken into custody at the hospital, and he remains under remanded to county jail.

His next court date will be on Sept. 30, and he faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.

Assistant District Attorney Christine O’Connor of the Superior Court Trials Division is prosecuting the case.
