FALL RIVER, Mass. — A man charged in the death of his pregnant girlfriend has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
18-year-old Kylee Monteiro was found dead on the Rehoboth property of her 23-year-old boyfriend, Gregory Groom back in August 2025. She was 11-weeks pregnant at the time of her death.
Prosecutors said Groom stabbed Monteiro, buried her in a shallow grave on his property off County Street and reported her missing.
After a two-week search, authorities found Monteiro’s remains buried on the property. Prosecutors said Groom later admitted to killing his girlfriend and her unborn child.
Monteiro allegedly told friends, “If I die, it was Greg.”
Groom pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
