Trans Dude Stabs His Father To Death And Critically Stabs His Sister In New York, Tried To Make It Look Like A Break-In

Nikki Secondino, a 22-year-old transgender woman, has been charged with the murder of their father, Carlo Secondino, 61, who was killed in a stabbing at the family home in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn.

Secondino has also been charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon in connection to the attack, which left their 19-year-old sister in critical condition at Maimonides Hospital.

Initially, police suspected that the incident was connected to a home invasion, but it was later revealed that Nikki may have fabricated the entire story in an attempt to cover up their involvement in the crime.

A neighbor of the Secondinos also claimed to have heard Nikki making a phone call after the stabbing, in which they claimed that the family had been robbed by home invaders who also stabbed them.

Carlo was pronounced dead at the scene and his daughter was rushed to Maimonides Medical Center, just days ahead of her 20th birthday, according to the New York Daily News.

It was originally reported two male robbers broke into the home on 17th Avenue, around 6am and demanded money from a safe, according to police, before they attacked the family of three and fled on foot.

However, police now believe that Nikki was responsible for the attack.

Nikki Secondino suffered slash wounds to the hands and was hospitalized in stable condition.

Father, Carlo Secondino, who worked as a deliveryman at Mike's Diner, was reportedly supportive of Nikki's gender identity.

Cops said earlier they were investigating the incident and looking to see if it is connected to a family dispute, ABC 7 reported.
