Marcos Marques-Leal, a 57-year-old Brazilian man, is suspected of fatally stabbing his ex-wife, Adriana Barbosa, 46, on the evening of Thursday, October 12, in Farmingville, Long Island. The police were called to a domestic violence incident around 8:15 PM at a residence on Granny Road, where they discovered Barbosa with knife wounds. Despite being rushed to Stony Brook University Hospital, she succumbed to her injuries shortly after arrival.

In addition to Adriana, a teenager present in the home sustained a hand injury during the incident, but fortunately, his injuries are not life-threatening. Following the attack, Marcos Marques-Leal was found at the scene with severe self-inflicted wounds, indicating that he might have attempted to take his own life after the crime. Emergency services transported him to the hospital, where he remains in critical condition, prompting ongoing investigations into the circumstances surrounding the event.

Authorities are currently investigating the domestic violence history between the couple, which may have led to this tragic incident. The Suffolk County Police have not released information regarding any previous complaints about domestic abuse, as they focus on ensuring justice for the victims involved in this tragic case. Given the location of the crime and its nature, it raises serious concerns regarding domestic violence in immigrant communities, calling for increased awareness and preventive measures.
