BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man is facing charges in connection with a fatal stabbing this past weekend.
Timothy Austin, 36, (also known as Khali Ali) was arraigned on one count of first-degree manslaughter, a Class B felony.
Investigators say Austin allegedly stabbed Tremaine Mayfield, 49, in the chest with a knife after an argument escalated in the 400 block of Niagara Street on June 11.
When police arrived on scene, they found Mayfield with a stab wound. He was taken to ECMC by ambulance. Mayfield later died of injuries sustained in the altercation.
Austin is scheduled to return to court on Friday, June 16 for a felony hearing. He is currently held without bail.
If Austin is convicted of the charge levied against him, he could face a maximum sentence of 25 years in prison.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant DA Rebecca L. Schnirel of the homicide unit.
