NEW YORK (1010 WINS) —Police in Brooklyn have filed murder charges against 55-year-old Oscar Rodriguez Jr., who is accused of fatally stabbing his 71-year-old stepmother Maria Rodriguez.
He allegedly stabbed her after she tried to stop him from stabbing his 87-year-old father, Oscar Rodriguez Sr., who was in a wheelchair.
The incident took place Saturday night on Garden Street.
Authorities say the trouble started when the father asked the son why he came to their home in Bushwick with no shoes on.
The father was stabbed in the chest but survived.
Relatives say Oscar Rodriguez Jr. has a history of mental health problems.
