Syracuse, NY: NY man charged with killing woman on Christmas Eve

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Police say a 38-year-old Syracuse man has been charged with beating his live-in girlfriend to death on Christmas Eve.

Craig Owens faces second-degree murder charges in the death of 18-year-old Latisha Hayes. The couple lived in a room of the house that Owens shared with another relative.

Police were called to the house shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday for an unconscious person and found Hayes severely beaten. She was pronounced dead at Upstate Medical University.

Owens was arraigned Sunday morning in Syracuse City Court and sent to Onondaga County jail without bail. Police did not know if he has a lawyer.
