A 69-year-old Long Island man reportedly d!ed after his adult son allegedly broke into his apartment and st@bbed him multiple times before fleeing the scene.
Sage Arias-Brown, 33, allegedly entered his father Edward Brown’s apartment in Mastic at around 12:30 a.m. on Monday, September 7, before allegedly st@bbing him repeatedly in the abdomen and chest, according to Suffolk County prosecutors.
Victim reportedly crawled to phone and called 911
Prosecutors told the court that a witness heard Arias-Brown allegedly enter the apartment before hearing Brown screaming for help.
“A witness heard [Arias-Brown] gain entry into the apartment and heard [Brown] screaming for help — the witness then saw him exit the building,” Assistant District Attorney Melissa Grier told the court.
Despite suffering multiple st@b w0unds, Brown reportedly managed to make his way to a phone and call 911.
Grier said Brown reported the brutal att@ck to emergency services before collapsing while waiting for help to arrive.
Brown was subsequently pronounced d3ad at the scene, prosecutors said.
Suspect arrested near father’s apartment
According to police, Arias-Brown was arrested just blocks away from his father’s apartment a short time after the k!lling.
The circumstances leading up to the alleged attack remain unclear. Authorities have not disclosed what happened inside the apartment or whether an argument or confrontation preceded the violence.
Arias-Brown appeared in court for his arraignment, where prosecutors outlined the allegations against him.
The case remains ongoing, and the allegations against Arias-Brown have not been proven in court.
