Nassau police arrest woman, 22, in connection with fatal stabbing of 28-year-old man at Massapequa home

A 22-year-old woman was arrested Monday in connection with a stabbing that left a 28-year-old man dead at a home in Massapequa, Nassau County police said.

Officers called to the home found the man unconscious with a stab wound. He was pronounced dead at the scene by a police medic.

Police have not released the identity of the man or the woman. They also haven't detailed the circumstances surrounding the death on Beaumont Avenue or any charges filed against the woman.

Officers swarmed the neighborhood just west of Massapequa High School at 1:30 a.m. on Monday and police aviation units hovered overhead for most of the morning. Police searched a home on the street.

Beaumont Avenue reopened to traffic at about 1 p.m. on Monday, though the home remained taped off.

Josie Conetta, 19, who lives across the street, said she awoke to police and ambulances outside her window.

"I woke up at 2 in the morning to red lights and woke my mom up, and then we saw that there was something wrong," Conetta said. "About an hour later, a girl came out," accompanied by police, she said.

She said she knew the man who was killed.

"It's definitely something you don't want to wake up to at 2 a.m., especially hearing that he did die," she said.

People were seen carrying groceries into the family's house over the course of the day on Monday as others sat on the front porch surveying the police tape and news cameras.

Anthony Boccia, who lives on a neighboring street, said residents were up all night with the sound of helicopters and flashing police lights.

"It's a very sad situation," he said.
