A 17-year-old allegedly shot and killed his 18-year-old ex-girlfriend, Emily Finn, inside a Nesconset home on Nov. 26 and then shot himself. Finn was pronounced dead at about 11:10 a.m.; the juvenile was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital in critical but stable condition. Suffolk County Police said the suspect will be charged with second-degree murder and arraigned later. Detectives say Finn had gone to return the suspect’s belongings after a recent breakup, and the investigation is ongoing.
