Man Gets 25 to Life in Prison for Pregnant Girlfriend's Murder

Prosecutors said Gregory Groom admitted stabbing Kylee Monteiro and burying her body after an argument over where she would stay.

  • On Tuesday, Gregory Groom, 23, of Rehoboth, was sentenced to life in prison for murdering his 18-year-old pregnant girlfriend, Kylee Monteiro, in August 2025; he is eligible for parole in 25 years.
  • During an August 19 interview, Groom admitted he stabbed Monteiro twice in the neck and once in the chest after an argument, then buried her remains in a five-foot-deep hole approximately 20 yards away.
  • Text messages sent by Monteiro to her sister, Faith Monteiro, on August 6 documented abuse: "He threw me on the ground and pulled my hair and strangled me. My phone is at 4% and if I die, it was Greg."
  • Faith and other family members had urged prosecutors to reject the plea deal downgrading charges to second-degree murder, though the judge acknowledged the sentence could not be fully fair to the family.
  • Groom received an additional three to five years for witness intimidation, to be served after completing his murder sentence. Those experiencing domestic violence can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE .
