Falls police ID murder victim, make two arrests
Staff reports Dec 8, 2016
Falls police have made a pair of arrests in connection with the dead body found Tuesday in the city’s North End.
The body has been identified as Daniel Sparks, 44, of Niagara Falls. He was reported missing on Nov. 1. Relatives told police last month that he had not been seen since early October.
Sparks’ body was found Tuesday in the 1900 block of Mackenna Avenue, just behind Cataract Steel. Police say Sparks suffered 27 stab wounds to his torso and upper leg area. Police said they believe Sparks was killed very close to the area in which his remains were found and that the “vicious attack” was preplanned.
James W. Howard, 27, of Lockport, has been charged with second-degree murder and is being held without bail.
Carl M. Hosmer, 29, of Niagara Falls, has also been charged with first-degree hindering prosecution and tampering with evidence. He is currently being held.
Additional charges are pending and the investigation is still ongoing. Erie County’s Medical Examiner is still working to confirm the body is in fact Mr. Sparks through forensic testing. www.niagara-gazette.com/news/crime/falls-police-id-murder...
