Oneil Millise, 42, is accused of fatally stabbing 33-year-old Diego Rodrigo Sandoval Nava inside a deli on Hegeman Ave. at Van Siclen Ave. in East New York around 3 p.m. on Aug. 1 after workers refused to sell him loose cigarettes. The assailant left after an initial confrontation but returned, stormed the counter and stabbed Sandoval Nava multiple times in the torso. Medics rushed the victim to Brookdale University Hospital, where he died. A witness described the escalation when the cashier ignored the cigarette request. A regular customer said the victim was defending an inexperienced 18-year-old cashier. Millise has been arrested multiple times on violent felony charges.
"(The stabber) asked the cashier for a cigarette," a witness told the Daily News. "The cashier wasn't paying him any attention. So the customer got upset even more and the (stabber) told him pretty much he was gonna come back behind the register and take the cigarettes. And the cashier pretty much said, 'Well, do it,' and that kind of provoked them even more."
The killer was asked to leave the store but he returned a short time later, stormed the counter and stabbed Sandoval Nava several times in the torso. Geysi Giron, who works at the nearby East New York Family Academy and is a regular customer at the bodega said the victim was "protecting and defending the 18-year-old cashier who didn't know how to protect himself from angry and intoxicated customers."
Cops are asking the public's help tracking down a violent ex-con suspected of stabbing a Brooklyn bodega worker to death for refusing to sell him a few loose cigarettes, police said. Millise, 42, allegedly stabbed 33-year-old Diego Rodrigo Sandoval Nava inside the deli on Hegeman Ave. at Van Siclen Ave. in East New York about 3 p.m. Aug. 1 after workers refused to sell him some loosies - individual cigarettes illegally sold from an open pack, police said.
