A 15-year-old illegal migrant has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder after allegedly stabbing a 32-year-old man to death at a home in Mineola, N.Y., Nassau County police said.
Officers from the Third Precinct responded to a 911 call for a stabbing on Roosevelt Place at 12:29 a.m. on Friday, according to a statement from the Nassau County Police Department’s Homicide Squad. Upon arrival, officers found a 32-year-old male victim with a stab wound to his abdomen.

The 15-year-old male juvenile was arrested at the scene without incident. He has been charged with second-degree murder and was scheduled to be arraigned on Saturday in the Youth Section of First District Court in Hempstead.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told News 12 that the teenager is in the country illegally. Police, however, have not confirmed the suspect’s immigration status or whether he and the victim knew each other.
No additional details about the victim or the suspect have been released.
The fatal stabbing comes amid a surge in illegal border crossings and growing concerns over the influx of migrants on Long Island. While not facing the same scale as New York City — which has processed more than 172,000 migrants since April 2022 — advocates report rising numbers in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
The Central American Refugee Center, Long Island’s largest immigrant legal services provider, has seen asylum case requests rise from four per week to 25 over the past 18 months. Long Island was already home to an estimated 100,000 undocumented immigrants before the recent spike.
The investigation into Friday’s homicide is ongoing.
