SEDGWICK COUNTY — A Kansas man convicted of killing his pregnant girlfriend will learn his fate Tuesday. Matthew Criscenzo is scheduled for a sentencing hearing, according to Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
In February, after four days of testimony and several hours of deliberation, a jury found Criscenzo guilty of premeditated first-degree murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated battery in the May 2025 shooting death of his pregnant girlfriend Naomi Oglesby, according to the Sedgwick County District Attorney's office.
The charges stemmed from an incident on May 25, 2025, in the 700 block of Laura Street in Wichita. Officers responded to reports of a shooting and discovered 20-year-old Naomi Oglesby, who was pregnant at the time, suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. While Oglesby succumbed to her injuries, medical personnel were able to successfully deliver her infant.
"This case has been a tragedy for the Wichita community and, most importantly, for the family of Naomi Oglesby," said Chief Assistant District Attorney Jason Roach. "We thank the jury for their diligent service and careful consideration of the evidence presented throughout this trial."
