A 17-year-old from Syosset has been arrested and charged in connection with the fatal stabbing of 15-year-old Liam Delemo during a large house party in West Babylon, according to Suffolk County police.
Investigators say the stabbing happened on November 3 outside a home on Carlton Road, where an estimated 90 to 100 teens had gathered. During a fight, Delemo was stabbed and later died from his injuries.
Because of his age, police are not releasing the suspect’s name. He has been charged with second-degree murder and is expected to be arraigned today in Central Islip.
The arrest comes as family and friends gathered today in Lindenhurst to remember and honor Delemo, described by loved ones as a kind and energetic teen whose life was cut short.
The investigation remains ongoing.
