Father Seeks Justice and Funeral Funds After Daughter’s Death in Queens

A criminal complaint states that an autopsy revealed signs of asphyxia, including petechiae in the girl’s eyes, heart, and lungs, along with facial scrapes. Cabello, 32, was arrested and charged with murder on Thursday. While the specific sequence of events leading to the incident remains under investigation, reports suggest the mother had been struggling with untreated psychological issues.

Franklin Cabello, the suspect's father, noted that his daughter had recently stopped taking her medication, though he remained stunned by the violence. "I knew something was wrong," he said, "but I never would have thought she would have done something like this."

For the family, the loss is profound. Fabiana was remembered by her uncle, Punraj Singh, as a joyful child who loved Indian delicacies and cared deeply for her great-grandmother. Now, Kuldeep Singh is working as an Uber driver while navigating his grief to raise $18,000 for funeral expenses. He established a GoFundMe campaign to ensure his daughter receives a proper burial, describing the ordeal as the loss of his entire world.
