Police say the woman's 46-year-old husband was restrained by several people who were in the home.
The husband has been charged with second-degree murder.
Police say the couple separated in June and an order of protection barred him from contacting her after he was accused of assaulting her.
The couple lived in Mastic Beach and had two teenage children.
