Friends of a Massapequa man are searching for answers after twenty-eight-year-old Bobby Carringer was allegedly stabbed to death in his sleep. Prosecutors say twenty-two-year-old Kristen Scully stabbed him in the neck inside his home.
Investigators say Carringer ran to his parents for help after being attacked while Scully hid in the residence. The Nassau County Homicide Commander described the devastating final moments of the young man's life.
The individual who died died in his father's arms, the commander said. No family should ever have to bear witness to their son being killed in that manner.
Friends described Carringer as someone who would not hurt a fly. He loved being around his friends and had a passion for cars. His death has hit the tight-knit Massapequa community hard.
No motive has been released by investigators for the stabbing. Scully is being held without bail as the investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding the attack.
The case has shocked the community given the apparent randomness of the attack. Residents in the area are struggling to comprehend how such a violent incident could occur in their neighbourhood.
Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact the Nassau County Police Department. The investigation remains active as detectives work to establish a timeline and potential motive for the killing.
