NY police: Man's last words named alleged killer

Police say a Long Island man dying from 22 stab wounds managed to name one of the men charged with killing him.

Suffolk County police said Friday that Thomas Garafolo's dying words pointed to 20-year-old Fredrick Hollman. He and 27-year-old Joshua Lopez are being held without bail on murder charges. Authorities say they killed Garafolo out of suspicion he was cheating Lopez out of the proceeds of a shoplifting scheme.

Lopez's lawyer, Michael Brown, says it's 'important not to rush to judgment.' The name of Hollman's lawyer couldn't immediately be determined Friday night, and his Ronkonkoma telephone number wasn't accepting messages.

Stabbed man knocks on Long Island door, then dies

Police say a man who had been stabbed multiple times knocked on the door of a Long Island home to ask for help but died soon after.

Suffolk County police say the man was covered in blood when he walked up the quarter-mile-long driveway and knocked on the door of the home in Medford on Sunday morning. They say he collapsed on the doorstep.

People inside the home saw the man bleeding heavily and called 911.

The man was taken to a hospital, where he died.

Police say the man apparently didn't know anyone in the home, which is near a large wooded area. They say they don't know who stabbed him or why it happened.
