Natavia Lowery, the personal assistant to Linda Stein, was sentenced to a significant prison term for the murder and theft involving her employer, Linda Stein. Stein, a former manager of the influential punk rock band the Ramones during their 1970s peak, later transitioned into a successful real estate career, becoming a prominent realtor to stars like Madonna and Sting.

Lowery was sentenced to 27 years and four months to life in prison for the murder of Stein​​. This sentence reflects the gravity of the crime, which involved Lowery bludgeoning Stein to death in her luxurious Fifth Avenue penthouse in Manhattan​​. The case garnered significant attention, partly due to Stein's high-profile connections and successful career shift from the music industry to high-end real estate.

In addition to the murder charge, Lowery was also found guilty of theft, having stolen $30,000 from Stein. This theft led to an additional three years being included in her sentence​​. The complexity and notoriety of the case were highlighted by the intense investigation efforts of the New York Police Department, which ultimately led to Lowery's conviction.
