A teen accused of killing his grandmother's fiancé inside a trailer where they all lived in East Northport is scheduled to face a judge for the first time today.
Suffolk County police responded to 8 Catherine St. around 4 a.m. Sunday.
First responders on the scene found Joseph Falvo, 61, with multiple stab wounds inside the living room of a trailer parked in the driveway.
Falvo was rushed to Huntington Hospital, where he died.
Suffolk County police investigated the stabbing and identified Falvo's fiancée's grandson, Noel Bermudez-Chin, 18, as the suspect.
A short time after responding to the home, police found Bermudez-Chin about a mile away, on Laurel Hill Road in Northport.
Police charged him with second degree murder.
According to the victim's fiancée, Cecilia Bermudez, she and Falvo got engaged last month and were planning their wedding for July.
Bermudez said that she, Falvo and Bermudez-Chin all lived in the trailer after a fire destroyed part of their home last December.
According to court documents, Bermudez-Chin told Suffolk County police that he threw hot water on Falvo then “stabbed him five or six times in the back and then stabbed him in the stomach.” Court documents didn’t immediately reveal a motive.
