Bronx Man Gets 20 Years For Killing Wife At Her Westchester Home

MOUNT VERNON, NY — A 60-year-old Bronx man who beat and stabbed his wife to death at her home before fleeing is headed to prison.

Bronx resident Kirk Fisher was sentenced on September 29, to 20 years in prison for killing his wife, Kaya Green, during a dispute in her home in Mount Vernon, Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah has announced.

"This is a devastating case of domestic violence and we hope the family of Kaya Green has some sense of closure," Rocah said. "Domestic violence cuts across boundaries of age, gender, race and economic status, and the dedicated prosecutors in my office will fight for all victims in the courtrooms of Westchester County to hold their abusers accountable."

On the night of April 8, 2021, Fisher repeatedly stabbed the 47-year-old victim, who suffered stab wounds to various parts of her body and blunt force trauma to her head, which caused her death. Three days later, the victim’s family found her dead on her living room floor and called the police.

The Mount Vernon Police Department arrested Fisher in Manhattan on May 18, 2021, following an investigation, with assistance from the FBI’s Safe Street Task Force, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the District Attorney’s Office.

On July 28, Fisher entered a guilty plea to felony manslaughter in the first degree. He will also be subject to five years of post-release supervision.
