Fundraiser Made For Long Island Father Of 4 Killed In Stabbing

HUNTINGTON STATION, NY — A fundraiser was made for the family of a Huntington Station father of four who died in a stabbing in West Hills last week.

The GoFundMe, made by Cisneros's niece, Karina Trejos Cisneros, has raised more than $28,000 as of Tuesday afternoon.

For those who would like to donate to the Cisneros family, you may do so here.

Cisneros is survived by his wife and four children.

"He was taken from us too soon and we are all heartbroken," Trejos Cisneros wrote on the fundraiser. "His wife and children would appreciate any help as they are going through tough times to cover the funeral expenses, let alone coping with the loss of their father and husband. Our family is going through tough times so anything will help. We thank you for your help during this difficult process. From the Cisneros - Campos family, Thank you."

Candelario Cordova, 53, was charged with second-degree murder in connection with Cisneros's death, authorities said.

Cordova also stabbed Cisneros's wife, Vilma Campos, 54, when she tried to intervene, Suffolk police said.

Cordova was a friend of the Cisneros family, prosecutors said.

"This defendant allegedly murdered his friend and was savagely attacking his friend’s wife when she tried to save her husband’s life," Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond Tierney stated on Friday. "Our thoughts are with the Cisneros family as we prosecute this defendant for this horrendous crime."
