A Suffolk County jury has found a 38-year-old man guilty of multiple charges, including Attempted Assault in the First Degree, for stabbing the mother of his children during a violent domestic attack that unfolded while young children were present.
According to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the verdict was delivered on November 19, 2025, following a trial before Acting Supreme Court Justice Anthony S. Senft Jr. Prosecutors said the defendant, Albaro Chacon, now faces up to 15 years in prison on the top charge.
The attack occurred on November 16, 2024, when the victim was asleep in a separate bedroom inside their home. She awoke to the sound of her door slamming open and saw Chacon approaching with a knife pointed at her chest. According to testimony, Chacon told her, “you are going to die here” as he attempted to stab her. The victim fought back and redirected the knife, suffering three stab wounds to her arm.
A two-year-old niece was also in the room at the time of the assault. The victim managed to escape the bedroom and flee outside, where she flagged down a passing motorist and called 911.
Minutes later, authorities said Chacon exited the home and approached the victim. Her six-year-old son then emerged from Chacon’s car and pleaded with his father to stop. Moments later, the victim also spotted her five-year-old daughter in the car—children who had been asleep earlier, indicating Chacon had moved them before the attack.
When the victim briefly returned inside, she found the scene had been cleaned and smelled of bleach. Blood that had pooled on the floor was gone, and the bedsheets from where she was stabbed had been removed.
Police arrested Chacon when they arrived. The victim was transported to South Shore University Hospital for treatment of her wounds.
A Suffolk County jury convicted Chacon of the following charges:
-
Attempted Assault in the First Degree (Class C violent felony)
-
Assault in the Second Degree (Class D violent felony)
-
Tampering with Physical Evidence (Class E felony)
-
Three counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child (Class A misdemeanors)
“This case illustrates the devastating and far-reaching impact of domestic violence,” District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney said in a statement. “Children witnessed and were placed in the middle of this violent attack, and they will carry those emotional scars for the rest of their lives.”
Chacon is scheduled to return to court on January 5, 2026, for sentencing.
