Story summary
On September 7, a 69-year-old man named Edward Brown was found dead in his apartment in Mastic, New York. Prior to his death, he had made a desperate 911 call during which he pleaded for help as his son, Sage Arias-Brown, allegedly stabbed him about 40 times. The attack occurred around 12:30 AM when the son entered the father’s home and began stabbing him in various parts of the body, including the torso, chest, and neck. A neighbor heard a loud noise followed by Edward's screams for help. After the call to emergency services, the neighbor saw Sage leaving the apartment building several minutes later. Police located Sage roughly half a mile away from the scene and arrested him shortly after. If convicted of second-degree murder, Sage faces up to 25 years to life in prison.
