New York woman will spend 40 years in prison for 2015 Monongalia County murder

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A New York woman who pleaded guilty to second degree murder in June in the death of a Tennessee man in Monongalia County will spend the maximum of 40 years in prison.

Kimberly McInnis, 28, formerly of Binghamton, NY, was sentenced Thursday in Monongalia County Circuit Court for the Jan. 2015 death of Howard Green, formerly of Nashville, Tennessee.

McInnis pleaded guilty to running Green over with his own company truck before stabbing him. The two were engaged in a relationship at the time of the altercation and had been heard arguing before the incident occurred. This occurred in the Cassville area of Monongalia County.

The Monongalia County Grand Jury indicted McInnis for first degree murder in 2015, which would have carried a life sentence.
