Telegram: A woman who failed to appear in court to testify against her boyfriend Wednesday allegedly stabbed him to death in their apartment Wednesday night and was charged with murder Thursday.
Stephanie Cruz, 28, of 156 Water St., Apt. 3, Leominster, allegedly called 911 just after 10:30 a.m. Thursday and told police she had killed her boyfriend, Cedric Taylor, the night before, investigators said.
Police went to the apartment and found the victim dead on the floor with “massive trauma to the torso area,” which was consistent with what Ms. Cruz told police, Senior First Assistant District Attorney Jeffrey Travers said in Leominster District Court.
Investigators found a knife, a potential murder weapon, in the kitchen sink, said Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr…
Mr. Taylor, 37, had been arrested and charged with domestic assault and battery on Ms. Cruz in March. He had been held in lieu of bail at the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction since then while awaiting trial.
The district attorney’s office had twice tried to bring the case to trial, but both times, most recently on Wednesday, their key witness, Ms. Cruz, failed to show up to testify. When she didn’t show up in court Wednesday, her boyfriend was released.
Ms. Cruz, who appeared in court wearing a blue scrubs top, spoke calmly as she asked for a court-appointed attorney and listened as Judge Mark Noonan ordered her held without bail.
Neighbors told police on Thursday that they had heard fighting in the fourth-floor apartment where Ms. Cruz lived with the victim and they did not call police Wednesday night because the fighting was not unusual.
Mr. Early declined to say whether the couple’s 2-year-old child was in the apartment when the alleged stabbing occurred. That child is now in the custody of the state Department of Children and Families.
Ms. Cruz’s two other children, who were fathered by another man, are being cared for by their father, Mr. Early said.
Ms. Cruz was in the apartment when police arrived after her 911 call. She allowed them inside, where they found a large amount of blood, Mr. Early said, though he declined to discuss why she waited all night to alert authorities.
Fucking Leominster. Sometimes you forget how dumpy Leominster can be because it’s next to Fitchburg. Everything looks better when it’s next to Fitchburg.
Seriously though, how’d you like to be this guy? He gets sent to the slammer for beating the bag out of one of his baby momma’s, and the day that he’s released – BOOM – baby momma gets her revenge.
I’ve never been to jail, but it doesn’t look fun. So I would imagine that being released is one of the greatest feelings imaginable. This is like that time your parents told you you were adopted on your birthday.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again ladies – stop getting knocked up by dooshnozzles and you won’t have to stab a dude to death in your kitchen. Because there is nothing about this face that says, “child support.”
And as usual you can always find the REAL story in the comments section of the Fitchburg Sentinel’s Facebook page:
Yea, you might wanna talk to a lawyer or call the police or something. Or just post about it on the Sentinel’s Facebook page. Whatever you think is best.
Anyway, dudes who beat women are the worst of the worst. It’s like, come on dude, this isn’t Raging Bull. You can’t do that shit like the old days, and for good reason. If you haven’t figured that out by now then I certainly don’t give a fuck if you end up getting stabbed in your kitchen.
On that note, there’s a debate going on about whether or not this was “self-defense.” The argument is of course that this woman feared for her life. That’s why she didn’t show up at the hearing on Wednesday – beacause she was so intimidated by this dooshmeister. Her only option was to stab him to death.
Newsflash – she didn’t show up to court on Wednesday because she set this mother fucker up. If she was REALLY fearful for her safety, she would’ve made sure this numbnuts was behind bars.
But she didn’t do that because she had a plan the whole time. Don’t show up for court. Then he gets off, comes home for his afternoon bang and beating, and she stabs him to death. You can call that self-defense if you want, but in America that’s what we call, “premeditated murder.”
The bottom line is that this woman made some really shitty life decisions, and this idiot fucked with the wrong woman.

Cedric was a great dude he never hit her ahe always made false reports and would always get arrested for hitting him he didnt deserve to be murdered and to everyone thats saying he didnt work i personally know cedric and he worked from 5am to 5pm everyday no matter what whenever i seen him thats all he would talk about was his son dont make false judgement on a great guy youve never had the pleasure of meeting!!!
1st cedric never killed a 3 year old girl in a car crash. He was involved in a accident with a grown man who was drinking and well above the leagal limit . Ced was a good man a great father and would do anything 4 a friend . I grew up with him and will miss him very much . So you can all run your mouths now that hes gone. But you know damn well u wouldnt say shit 2 his face. And 4 u having 2 pay 4 his kids with your taxes.. he comes from a great family who will take care of there own.
All of his is ridiculous…. She’s crazy, she was always filing false shit and provoking him…she has a case herself for going after him…maybe she didn’t go to court cause she lied in the first place….she def set him up
Cedric Taylor is an abusive blackout drunk with a long history of domestic violence. He spent two years in south bay for drinking and driving and getting into a car accident that ended a young girls life. That girl didn’t go to court cause restraining orders are bull they don’t do anything they are just a piece of paper. Cedric showed up at her house after getting out of jail most likely drunk and mad about her ever pressing charges, and began fighting with her (like always) she noticed the pattern and probly noticed what he was going to do next was assault her again, so she stabbed him. After that the poor girl realized that no one would believe she did it in self defense she was too scared to call the police. I can say this because I knew Cedric Taylor personally and he was by no means a good person. This girl was one of many that were a victim of this man and the only thing sad about this is that those poor kids have to live without their mother because our system is broken.
Was
I so agree. These people on here saying she shouldn’t have had a kid with him is not even relavent to what happened. She was his punching bag, kids or no kids,and u assholes that have shit coming out ur mouth have never been in an abusive relationship so shut the fuck up!
At least jail should keep her from pumping out more dependents.
I doubt it….
Another fairy-tale romance ends in tragedy.
*curtail incidents like this is much better than a curtain.*
It is unbelievable how a man and a woman can meet, seemingly or for real fall in love, then torture themselves to the point where arrests happen leading up to a murder. How about this idea, “break up” when it is not going the way you thought it would. Yes when there is a baby(s) involved it gets much more complicated. But still, jail, murder? Really? Comeon… So now what happens to the kid? Nobody wins on these bad decisions from the get go and the children or just one kid now faces an uphill battle of enormous proportions in their growing up years.
Shitty way to start off life as a kid. We all know that the odds are against them making it in life in this type of scenario and that is a HUGE social problem. And this has nothing to do with race not withstanding the racial differences between this couple. And that has nothing to do with this fact of life and it’s potential consequences to our society.
But that’s right, incidents like this can eventually effect us all. And how shitty is that?
You could ask well maybe if family were involved it could’ve helped put out this fire? Well if there were family involved in the beginning then maybe this unfortunate incident would have never happened.
In the end this is not a unique situation. It happens all of the time so all we can do as citizens is voice our opinions and somewhere down the road hopefully there can be some safeguards put in place, legal or otherwise, that maybe can curtain incidents like this.
I’ll bet voting in November and knowing the candidates will be a good step forward. Just sayin’.
I’ll get up tomorrow at 6 am. Get my kids ready and go to work. Just to pay taxes for this pos’s funeral, to incarcerate this stupid broad and for the state to take care of those kids.
F me
Right on brother….that’s becoming the American Nightmare instead of dream. Support these lazy, assholes, that just collect SS, and whatever else free money…good times.
