A Brooklyn man on Tuesday was sentenced to 22 years to life in prison for murdering his pregnant wife in their Williamsburg apartment.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said defendant Timothy Taylor, 38, of Williamsburg, will serve his term consecutively as he is already serving for the murder of his former wife, Tishawn Folkes-Taylor, 44, in Schenectady, N.Y.
According to the investigation, on May 13, 2023, at about 8:00am, at 356 Bedford Ave., Theresa Gregg, 37, was found unresponsive on the floor in the doorway of her bedroom by her 14-year-old twin daughters. The victim had blood around her face and neck and a screwdriver was found next to her body. Her daughters called 911 and emergency medical technicians responded, and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene, prosecutors said.
Gregg, who was employed as a police officer with the city’s Department of Homeless Services, was approximately three months pregnant, according to Gonzalez.
The defendant was apprehended in Philadelphia on June 2, 2023.
“This defendant shockingly killed two women, both mothers, within weeks of each other," Gonzalez said in a statement. "He callously stabbed his pregnant wife, leaving her to die, then headed upstate and killed his former wife. He will now serve 44 years to life for these despicable crimes. There is no place for domestic violence and intimate partner abuse in Brooklyn and we will continue to prosecute such cases vigorously.”
