Detectives have arrested a 28-year-old man they say fatally knifed another man during a heated argument on a Queens street corner, police said Friday.
Guzman Irvin is facing murder, assault, menacing, and criminal tampering charges for the fatal clash with Jose Reyes, 35, near the corner of Seneca Ave. near Gates Ave. in Ridgewood at about 3:30 a.m. Thursday.
Responding officers to the corner found Reyes with a stab wound to the stomach. EMS rushed him to Jamaica Hospital, where he died a short time later.
Reyes lived in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, about eight miles from where he was stabbed, cops said.
Irvin lived in Ridgewood, about eight blocks from where the stabbing occurred. He had been arrested twice before, most recently earlier this year on a domestic violence assault charge, cops said.
Police learned that the two men were arguing right before the stabbing, but it wasn’t immediately disclosed what the they were fighting about, cops said.
The stabbing took place on the sidewalk just a few feet from the Tequila Time Bar Cafe, although it was not clear if the bar had been open at the time of the fight.
Irvin was found near the scene and taken into custody for questioning. Detectives charged him Thursday afternoon.
His arraignment in Queens Criminal Court was pending Friday.
