Two Bronx men have been arrested and charged with murder in connection with a fatal stabbing near Times Square last month, according to the NYPD.
Paul Ohore, 32, and Alagie Jatta, 29, were taken into custody by the department’s warrant squad early Tuesday morning, authorities said.
The incident happened around 1 a.m. on Nov. 24 near the northeast corner of West 49th Street and Seventh Avenue, officials said. Police said 23-year-old Daevon Silva, of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, was attacked during a group fight. He was beaten with a baseball bat and stabbed in the thigh and back, according to authorities.
Silva was taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, officials said.
Police said the fight may have been retaliation for an earlier incident, which remains under investigation.
Ohore is from the Unionport section of the Bronx, and Jatta lives in Wakefield, police said.
Information on attorneys for the men was not immediately available.
