On a summer night in West Babylon, New York, 21-year-old Olivia DiGrigoli was fatally shot, leaving a community in mourning and a case that remains unsolved. The incident occurred on July 25, 2018, while DiGrigoli, a female resident of West Islip, was sitting in a parked car on Lakeway Drive with her on-and-off boyfriend, 22-year-old Anthony St. Hilaire.
Both were gunned down in what police have described as a double homicide.
Around 11:20 p.m., Suffolk County Police responded to reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, they discovered DiGrigoli inside the vehicle and St. Hilaire outside; both had sustained fatal gunshot wounds. DiGrigoli was pronounced dead at the scene, while St. Hilaire was transported to a nearby hospital where he also died. The motive for the shooting has not been publicly determined by investigators.
In the years following the killings, law enforcement has continued to seek information from the public to help solve the case. The Suffolk County Crime Stoppers have offered a cash reward for any information that leads to an arrest. DiGrigoli's family has been vocal in their pleas for justice, expressing their heartbreak and frustration over the lack of progress in the investigation. They believe individuals with knowledge of the crime have been hesitant to come forward.
Despite numerous appeals and the ongoing investigation by the Suffolk County Police Homicide Squad, no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths of Olivia DiGrigoli and Anthony St. Hilaire. The case remains an active and open investigation, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
