On the morning of January 3rd, 2023, a suspect in the January 1st homicide on LaSalle Ave was arraigned in Niagara Falls City Court.
Dominique L. Castile, a 34-year-old male from Centerville, PA, was arraigned on one count of Murder 2nd degree and one count of Assault 1st degree.

Castile is charged with murder in connection with the homicide that occurred on the morning of January 1st in the 2200 block of Lasalle Ave in Niagara Falls.

In that incident a different 33-year-old male was stabbed and remains in stable condition at ECMC.
Castile was arrested Sunday morning in Amherst NY, shortly after the homicide. Amherst Police encountered Castile during a car stop which led to separate criminal charges there.
