The NYPD has arrested 22-year-old Nikki Secondino in connection to a fatal stabbing in Bensonhurst. She is the daughter of the 61-year-old victim who was pronounced dead and the sibling of the 19-year-old who is currently in critical condition.  
The incident took place on Thursday morning just before 6 a.m., according to police.
The NYPD says they found the father, Carlo Secondino, dead inside the home of 8208 17th Ave. He and the two daughters all lived together at the apartment. 
Police arriving at the home also found a 19-year-old victim with serious injuries. She is currently in critical condition at St. Barnabas Hospital.  
Neighbors say the area is typically a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, and several residents of the building say they were not let back into the building until after the investigation.
"He used to deliver for the panini place," said Chris Alvarado, neighbor of the late Carlo Secondino. "He was a great guy, always helpful... I am shocked that something like this happened to him."
