Featherweight Trevis Hall Accused of Killing Girlfriend

by David P. Greisman

A featherweight boxer named Trevis Hall allegedly “stabbed and bludgeoned” his girlfriend, killing her last week, according to the New York Daily News.

Hall, 28, is originally from Guyana, turned pro as a boxer in Florida and soon began to fight out of the New York City borough of Queens.

The woman’s death is a sad ending that followed previous alleged incidents, according to the article: “Hall threatened [his girlfriend] with a knife in June and cops were called to the home [the week before her death] for another dispute, police said.”

He was arrested on Dec. 1 and was scheduled to appear in court today (Dec. 11), according to online court records.

Hall was 6-1-1 as a pro, had won four in a row and had last been in the ring this past September.
