-

A 42-YEAR-OLD man was fatally stabbed during a gathering at a Staten Island home, police said Thursday.

Filroy Warner was visiting a third-floor apartment on Navy Pier Court near Front St. in Stapleton at 11:40 p.m. Wednesday when he was stabbed more than six times in the chest and arms, cops said.

Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said two men and a woman were in the apartment when an argument started over the woman. He also said police have identified a suspect.

Medics rushed Warner to Richmond University Medical Center, where he died. His girlfriend, Maritza Francis, rushed to the scene of his death Thursday morning.

“I’m heartbroke­n,” she said through sobs. “I’m shocked. I came to get (answers), to see what happened.”

She described Warner as respectful and generous, adding “he was a good father.”

“I have no idea (who would do this to him),” she added.

Warner’s daughter posted a Facebook message Thursday with a picture of her as a little girl with her dad and the message, “I love you dad. I wish I got to tell you bye.”
