Nassau County police are investigating a stabbing in the parking lot behind several West Hempstead businesses that left a 52-year-old woman dead and a man with injuries.
Officers responded to a 911 call for a stabbing in the lot behind businesses including La Candela II restaurant, at 205 Hempstead Turnpike, just after midnight on Sunday, police said. When they arrived, officers found a 52-year-old woman with multiple stab wounds and a 50-year-old man with a "laceration to his hand," the department said.
The victims, who were not immediately identified by police, were transported to a nearby hospital, where the female victim was later pronounced dead at 3:58 a.m., cops said. The male victim was treated and later released, they added.
Alex Flores, a worker who answered the phone at the restaurant on Sunday evening, said the incident in the rear parking lot happened as workers were preparing to close for the night on Saturday.
