A Long Island man was arrested for fatally stabbing his friend of 20 years and slashing and stabbing the victim's wife when she tried to stop him.
The wife decided to jump in her car and follow the SUV. It stopped at the corner of Oakwood Road.
Authorities say Cordova went to the back of the vehicle and grabbed a long knife. He allegedly opened the passenger side door and repeatedly began stabbing his friend. Several motorists stopped and tried to intervene until members of the Suffolk County Police Dept., arrived. Cisneros was pronounced dead at the scene. Cisneros' wife was transported to Huntington Hospital, where she was treated for multiple stable wounds.
District Attorney Raymond Tierney said, "Our thoughts are with the Cisneros family as we prosecute this defendant for this horrendous crime." Cordova was arraigned on a felony murder charge. He pleaded not guilty and is being held in jail. He is due back in court on March 6, 2023.
