His father, Edeedson Cine Sr., who told the New York Post how his son- "who would step in front of a bullet for anyone"- spent that morning washing dishes and eating breakfast with his three siblings before covering his co-worker's CVS Pharmacy shift at the last minute. But he never made it home."

Police found Cine on the floor, suffering from a single stab wound to his chest, Long Island News 12 reported. He was rushed to a West Islip hospital where he was pronounced dead within one hour of the senseless attack."

The suspect entered the CVS and allegedly demanded money from Cine, who was working behind the counter. Cine refused before he was stabbed."
