A man who had come in from Pennsylvania to help his daughter move out of her boyfriend’s home in Sunnyside got into a fight with the younger man and allegedly stabbed him to death, law-enforcement sources said.
James Parker, 59, allegedly plunged a knife into Henry Raftrey’s abdomen at 6:45 a.m.
Raftrey, 39, and Dana Parker, 29, the parents of a 1-year-old child, were in the process of breaking up, so she called her parents, the sources said.
The argument, allegedly over finances, ended with doctors pronouncing Raftrey dead at the Richmond University Medical Center.
James Parker was arrested and charged with murder and possession of a deadly weapon.

What a stash!
A 24-year-old man was taken into custody after officers executing a search warrant uncovered heroin, illegal pills and even firecrackers hidden throughout his Emerson Hill home, authorities said.
They found more than 130 glassine envelopes of heroin in Joseph Mizrahi’s sneakers at the Wellbrook Avenue residence at about 7:30 a.m. Dec. 11, court papers say.
Mizrahi also allegedly had more heroin, as well as Xanax and painkillers, in an Altoids box on his dresser, a gravity knife in his bed’s headboard and the illegal fireworks in a closet.
He was charged with numerous counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance and unlawfully dealing fireworks, the records show.

A pill-popping fraudster kept writing himself prescriptions on a stolen prescription pad until someone finally got suspicious and called the cops on him, authorities said.
James Wechsler, 35, was busted last Thursday after trying to fill seven phony scrips over a three-day period, according to court records.
He kicked off his spree Dec. 10, dropping off a Xanax prescription at a Walgreens on Manor Road at 8:25 a.m. and later picking up 90 pills, the court documents state.
Later that day, he dropped off another one, for oxycodone, at a CVS on Forrest Avenue, according to the records.
The very next day, he filled prescriptions at the CVS at 1933 Victory Blvd. for Valium and oxycodone and two for Xanax, the court papers claim.
The next day, Dec. 12, he dropped off a Xanax prescription at Nate’s Pharmacy on Forrest Avenue in Port Richmond, the court records say — but when he returned the next day for pickup, he found the police waiting for him.
He was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, criminal possession of a forged instrument and criminal possession of stolen property, the records state.
