A Lake Ronkonkoma man fatally stabbed his father early Monday inside a Mastic apartment, Suffolk Police said.

The victim, Edward Brown, called 911 about 12:30 a.m. to report he had been stabbed inside his apartment in a home on Mastic Boulevard, police said. Cops and Mastic Volunteer Ambulance Company personnel attempted lifesaving measures on Brown, but the 68-year-old man died at the scene.

Shortly later, Suffolk Police Homicide Squad detectives arrested Brown’s 33-year-old son, Sage Arias-Brown of Lake Ronkonkoma. He is charged with second-degree murder.

Arias-Brown remains in police custody and is scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at Suffolk First District Court in Central Islip.

Anyone with information related to the case is asked to call the Homicide Squad at 631.852.6392 or Suffolk County Crime Stoppers at 1.800.220.TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
