Bethpage Deadly Stabbing: Anthony Ciampa, Proprietor of A&A Deli-Pizza along with his spouse Angela Murdered in Double Killing

 A tranquil community on Long Island is in shock after a tragic double murder involving two long-time residents of Plainedge, who were also prominent owners of a deli, that unfolded during a brutal series of attacks on Thursday morning. Investigators suspect that their son, identified as Veto, is accountable for both deaths.

Mother Killed Near School District Grounds

The ordeal commenced near the campus of the Plainedge Union Free School District on Hicksville Road, adjacent to the previous site of Brills. Initial reports indicate that Veto clashed with his mother, Angela, stabbing her fatally in the neck amidst a sudden and intense conflict.

Emergency responders arrived shortly after, yet Angela, a cherished and well-known member of the Plainedge community, was declared dead at the scene.

Father Murdered Shortly After at A&A Deli

After the initial assault, investigators report that Veto moved southward on Hicksville Road and entered A&A Deli, the family’s popular establishment. His father, Tony, who co-managed the deli with Angela, was present at that moment.

Law enforcement sources indicate that Veto attacked his father, stabbing him multiple times in another deadly incident. Tony was also declared dead at the scene, leaving the Plainedge community reeling from the unexpected loss of two longstanding residents and business operators.

Extensive Police Presence at Nearby Mini Market

The second incident prompted a significant law enforcement presence at the nearby A&A Mediterranean Mini Market located at 4240 Hicksville Road, as officers initially feared there might be more victims involved. The mini-market was completely evacuated while law enforcement personnel from various departments responded and secured the vicinity.

Anthony Ciampa, the owner of A&A Deli Italian Deli-Pizza, and his wife Angela Ciampa were confirmed as victims of the murder carried out by their son, Veto, outside their establishment that morning.

Anthony Ciampa, who ran A&A Deli Italian Deli-Pizza, along with his wife Angela Ciampa, has been identified as the victims killed by their son, Veto, in front of their business this morning.

Numerous patrol cars, detectives, and crime scene officials flooded the plaza as officers cleared the premises, analyzed surveillance recordings, and broadened the cordon around both crime scenes.

Community Disturbed by Loss of Renowned Family

Angela and Tony were characterized by neighbors and loyal customers as diligent, amiable, and deeply embedded in the Plainedge area. Their deli has been a staple for the community for several years, becoming a regular stop for locals and students.

The announcement of their deaths has left the local residents grieving, with many expressing shock that such an act of violence could occur in their usually serene neighborhood.

Investigation Ongoing; Area Will Stay Off-Limits

Authorities have advised locals to steer clear of the area while investigators continue to collect evidence and conduct interviews. Parts of Hicksville Road are still blocked off, and further updates are anticipated as detectives work to uncover the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

The motive remains unclear, and officials stress that the investigation is still in its preliminary phases.
