Deadly Heartbreak: Man Sneaks Into Ex-girlfriend’s Home After Breakup, Stabs Her 22-Year-Old Son Almost To Death

A man has been accused of sneaking into his ex-girlfriend’s house and attempting to murder her son. According to a press release from the Suffolk County Police Department, the incident unfolded after the man’s longtime girlfriend broke up with him on April 17.

The man has been identified as Robert Schreiber, 42. He allegedly broke into the woman’s home on Marvin Street in Patchogue, Long Island, and repeatedly stabbed her 22-year-old son. After the woman called it quits on April 17, Schreiber invaded her home the following day around 8 a.m.

He allegedly entered through an unlocked window while everyone inside the house was sleeping. According to authorities, the man went into his ex-girlfriend’s son’s room and stabbed him seven times. The victim’s name has not been made public.

Family members allegedly managed to stop the attacker in time, allowing the victim to escape. They then called 911. When Suffolk County Police officers arrived at the scene, the victim was in critical condition.

He was transported to NYU Langone Hospital for treatment of his stab wounds. Schreiber was promptly arrested. Police also found a knife on him, which he allegedly used in the attack on the young man.

Schreiber is charged with attempted murder, burglary, assault, weapons possession, harassment, and child endangerment. He is being held on $100,000 cash bail, a $1,000,000 bond, or a $1,000,000 partially secured bond.

The 42-year-old is due back in court on May 28. If found guilty, he could face up to 25 years in prison. In a release, District Attorney Tierney said, “This was a violent attack on a young man in his own home. Domestic violence does not always end when a relationship does; it often escalates. We will aggressively prosecute this defendant and seek justice for the victim and his family.”

Another such incident occurred in Long Island, where a man identified as Rony Yahir Alvarenga Rivera, 32, was arrested over the deaths of his 32-year-old roommate and coworker, Ana Maria del Aguila-Cordova, 42.

Around 12:30 a.m. on May 1, Aguila-Cordova was found dead outside of an Island Park Wendy's after she had gone out to take out the trash. The second unnamed victim was found dead in her home in Valley Stream. She was stabbed to death.

The attacker turned himself in.
