Cops: Huntington Station Man Charged With Murder in Death of Maggie Rosales

Suffolk County Police homicide detectives arrested a Huntington Station man on Wednesday in connection with the stabbing death of Maggie Rosales earlier in October.

Homicide detectives arrested Adam Saalfield, 21, Wednesday afternoon, police said.

Rosales, 18, was found lying on Lynch Street on Oct. 12. Her death, one of four local murders in the last year, prompted residents to march on town hall on Oct. 22 demanding a stop to crime in the area.

Saalfield was charged with second-degree murder. He is being held at the Third Precinct overnight and is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday at First District Court in Central Islip.

Saalfield was arrested on an unrelated misdemeanor charge of possession of a hypodermic instrument on Oct. 18, according to court records.
