Levittown man indicted for August murder
FIRE SAFETY DAY
Kindergarten students at Kramer Lane Elementary School in the Bethpage School District were able to get up close to a fire truck during an educational visit from the Bethpage Fire Department on Oct. 22.
Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas announced that a Levittown man was arraigned on grand jury indictment charges today for the murder of his wife and attempted murder of his brother-in-law in August at their Cord Lane home. Thomas DiNapoli, 68, of Levittown, was arraigned before Judge Tammy Robbins on charges of murder in the second degree, attempted murder in the second degree and assault in the first degree. The defendant faces a potential maximum of 50 years to life in prison if convicted. DA Singas said that on the evening of August 13, the defendant and his wife, Cheryl DiNapoli, were arguing in the bedroom of their home in Levittown. The defendant allegedly shot the 61-year-old victim in the eye and neck with a 9mm rifle. The woman’s younger brother, who was also living at the
home, entered the couple’s bedroom and struggled with the defendant for possession of the gun, ultimately taking it away from DiNapoli. The defendant then went downstairs to a safe in the garage where he retrieved a second weapon, a shotgun. DiNapoli then allegedly shot his brother in law, who was behind a door, in the right arm. The two men physically fought in the house and the struggled continued to the front lawn of the home. There, the brother-in-law was able to take the shotgun away from DiNapoli. At that point, at approximately 11:45 p.m. that evening, responding officers from the Nassau County Police Department arrested the defendant. Cheryl DiNapoli was pronounced deceased at the scene. The injured man was taken to the hospital and is recovering from his wounds.
