A 38-year-old Niagara County man was stabbed to death early this morning, and Niagara County sheriff's deputies have arrested his girlfriend on a murder charge, sheriff's officials reported.
Deputies responded to a 1:15 a.m. call from the girlfriend about a stabbing at 8464 Ridge Road, Town of Hartland.
Emergency workers from Tri Town Ambulance and the Hartland Fire Department also responded and worked on Randy R. Whitney at the scene. He was taken to Eastern Niagara Hospital in Lockport, where he was pronounced dead.
Investigators from the sheriff's department charged the girlfriend, Gwendolyn Garcia, 31, of the same address, with second-degree murder and possession of a weapon. She was arraigned in Hartland Town Court and kept in custody with no bail.
Whitney was stabbed in the chest, but investigators wouldn't say how many times or whether they know what sparked the fatal attack.
