In a first-person statement attributed to Allen, who initialed and signed the page, she allegedly said she woke up around or before 7:30 a.m. July 13. She warmed up breast milk for her boyfriend’s baby in a bottle.

“I pulled his bassinet into our room and gave him the bottle and both of us went to bed for a few more hours,” documents said. “We woke up around 9:00-9:30 a.m.”

Her own son was there too, although his age is not specified.

Allen allegedly said she pulled the bassinet out of the bedroom and put it by a toy box. She said she took Conway out and placed him on her bed, documents stated. Allen allegedly said she went to the bathroom, and that Conway was fussy when she returned.

“I tried to settle him down and nothing was working,” the statement read. “I tried to give him his ‘binkie’ and bottle and nothing was working. I picked up Conway and took my anger out on him and I shouldn’t have. I picked him up with both hands and shook Conway back and forth out of frustration and anger.”

She allegedly admitted that when she “roughly” changed his diaper, she “forcefully pushed” the baby’s legs up to change him.

Allen described herself as frustrated and angry, documents stated.

According to her alleged statement, she said Conway became limp after she finished changing him. In documents, she described him as unconscious. She allegedly said she sought help from others, one of whom called 911.

“I thought maybe me holding him and moving him back and forth could have done it,” documents stated.

A woman called the house and asked if there was any fluids coming out of the child, the statement said. Allen allegedly said a little blood came out of his left nostril.

“She told me to put him belly down on my arm and cradle his head to see if he was choking on anything,” she allegedly wrote. “That wasn’t working.”

Conway died in August.

“I believe I caused Conway’s injuries,” Allen said in the signed statement. “I should have walked away from the situation and come back to him later, but it’s hard when he is fussy.”

A Fowler woman who was indicted on a murder charge in the killing of a baby in Fowler during the summer of 2023 has taken a plea deal.

According to the St. Lawrence County District Attorney's Office, Tiara Allen, 27, has pleaded guilty to first-degree assault in the death of a five-month old child on July 7, 2023.

Allen was originally indicted for Murder in the Second Degree, Manslaughter in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree, Reckless Assault of a Child and Endangering the Welfare of a Child in regards to the death of the child.

Police said Allen was charged after an investigation determined that on July 7, 2023 around 9:40 a.m., she was in the care of her boyfriend’s 5-month-old child at their residence on Sand Road in the town of Fowler. Allen allegedly became "frustrated with the child’s incessant crying" and began to shake the child, police said.

Shortly thereafter, the child became unresponsive and was transported to Gouverneur Hospital.

The child was transported to Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital, Syracuse, NY, where the child was diagnosed with Anoxic Brain Injury and Subdural Hematomas as result of Allen’s actions, police said.

The child died as a result of the injuries.

On July 13, 2023 Allen, was charged for reckless assault of a child, and endangering the welfare of a child, but now more severe charges have been filed in the wake of the victim's death.

With the plea deal now in place, Allen will continue to be held at St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility.

A St. Lawrence County woman was sentenced to 14 years in prison Tuesday morning in connection with the death of a baby in 2023.

Tiara Allen of Fowler was sentenced to 14 years behind bars, followed by five years post-release supervision.

“While I understand that 14 years for taking the life of a small infant like this sounds light, and believe me, I wish it was more—I wish it was life without parole, but we can only do what we can under the law," said St. Lawrence County District Attorney Gary Pasqua.

Officials said Allen was caring for her boyfriend’s baby on July 7, 2023, at their home when she became frustrated with the baby’s crying and began to shake the child, causing a brain bleed.

Seven-month-old Conway Newcombe died in August. His mother, Sara, spoke with 7 News.

“When you lose your spouse, you’re a widow. When you lose your parents, you’re an orphan. They don’t have a word for when you lose a child because it’s something that’s not supposed to happen,” she said.
