Daughter Charged With Murder In BK Dad's 'Home Invasion' Death: Cops

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK — A young Brooklyn woman stands accused of murdering her father and critically wounding her sister in what was initially reported by police as a violent home invasion, officials said.

Nikki Secondino, 22, reportedly confessed to stabbing her father Carlo, 61, and sister Liana inside their Bensonhurst home on 17th Avenue and 18th Street early Thursday morning, according to the NYPD and reports.

Police initially reported two men had broken into the family home on the hunt for a safe the family didn't own.

But sources told multiple news outlets the same day the story didn't quite pan out and Nikki finally confessed.

A neighbor later told the Daily News she'd called 911 after hearing fighting and Carlo's calls for aid.

“He pleaded to me ‘Please call the cops!’" the neighbor told the Daily News. "The front of his chest right there, it was saturated in red like he was wearing a red vest.”

Nikki was charged with murder, attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.

Liana was recently an intern at the Brooklyn Daily Eagle while working towards her Bachelor's Degree — a double major in Journalism and Economics — at Lehigh University, according to her LinkedIn profile.
