An event subsuming a murder and a suicide in Syosset has drawn the attention of the Nassau County Police, which is currently investigating the matter. A minor residential street known as Wyoming Court has been quarantined, and the house where multiple people lost their lives on Sunday was discretely concealed behind cordon vehicles. According to a statement by Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder at the location, the incident is being treated as a murder-suicide scenario.
Ryder further mentioned that victim identification is still underway, implying a state of progression in the ongoing police investigation. He also confirmed a grim incident involving a man ending his life on the front lawn of the house. ‘The individual on the front-yard engaged in an act of self-shoot that ended his life,’ said Commissioner Ryder, providing some initial insight into the harrowing situation at hand.
The location of the tragic event got authenticated by Ryder in his brief media interaction. However, the event of interest preceded another incident of note. Upon references from the website Dignitymemorial.com, it was found that a funeral service for Theresa Martha DeLucia, aged 95, took place on Friday at the Calverton National Cemetery, which is based in Wading River.
Mary Macaluso, a local real estate agent from Syosset, lined up details about her visit to the house on that ill-fated day. She had a pre-arranged meeting at approximately 12:30 p.m. with the DeLucia family, the previous inhabitants of the house. However, by the time she showed up for the appointment, the street was already cordoned by law enforcement authorities.
Macaluso was bewildered by the sight of the commotion and took a moment to connect the dots. ‘I was supposed to meet with the DeLucias,’ she recounted. She indicated the recent passing away of the matriarch of the family and a subsequent decision to sell the house.
Macaluso related that the children of the deceased had congregated at the place after the funeral and had requested her to visit the house for an assessment. Reflecting on the conversation, the real estate agent remembered the children inquiring, ‘…what they should do with the house before considering its listing…’
In discussion with Macaluso, it was disclosed that the meeting had been planned for that day as two relatives from Florida had flown in for the funeral and were due to return soon. As a consequence, they hoped to conclude their familial obligations and consultation with Macaluso, a real estate expert.
This rapidly unfolding story raised more questions than answers. As investigations continue, the community waits for conclusive findings about the disturbing murder-suicide incident. Updates on this developing story will follow as more information becomes available.
