A 22-year-old man from Rockland County was fatally stabbed during a dispute over a bicycle in the Corona section of Queens early Monday, police said.
Anderson Archila-Martinez, of Spring Valley, was found just after midnight at the intersection of Junction Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue with a stab wound to the stomach, according to the NYPD.
Officers responded to a 911 call at 12:47 a.m., and EMS transported Archila-Martinez to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Officials said the fight broke out near Roosevelt Avenue and a 33-year-old man was taken into custody for questioning.
An NYPD spokesperson said police arrested 33-year-old Nelson Torres in connection with the stabbing and charged him with murder and weapons possession. His attorney information was not immediately available.
