Two women were killed — one in a house, the other outside a Wendy’s where she worked. Both were stabbed to death, and police have a man in custody.
According to investigators, the first victim was stabbed to death at a home on Mineola Avenue in Valley Stream late Thursday.
Then the same suspect allegedly went to a Wendy’s on Austin Boulevard in Island Park and stabbed the other woman, an employee who was taking out trash at the time of the incident, police said.
It wasn’t clear if the two women were connected to each other, or how either may be linked to the suspect.
The suspect was apprehended in Lyndbrook after the second murder.
Additional information was not immediately available.
