Briefing on the Investigation in the 122 Precinct, Staten Island


June 22, 2019
Remarks as delivered by Assistant Chief Kenneth Corey
Hello I am Assistant Chief Kenneth Corey, Commanding Officer of Patrol Borough Staten Island. I am joined by Inspector Mark DiPaolo, Commanding Officer of Staten Island Detectives and Deputy Inspector Melissa Eger, Commanding Officer of the 122nd Precinct.
Today at 10:30 a.m. police responded to a 911 call of an assault in progress at a private residence behind us on Palisade Street. Upon arrival, officers discovered a smoke filled residence. FDNY personnel responded and extinguished a small fire. Upon entry to the residence, the bodies of a 36-year-old female, a 3-year-old child and a 2-year-old child were discovered. EMS responded and pronounced all three individuals deceased at the scene. Through the course of the preliminary we discovered that a 36-year-old male, who is believed to be the father of the children, was found walking along the BQE at approximately 7:48 a.m. and was transported to an area hospital for evaluation.
We are in the early stages of an investigation, which is ongoing at this time. The medical examiner will determine the cause of death, however, we are treating this as a homicide investigation.
