Detectives in the Bronx have arrested the suspect who allegedly stabbed a Queens man to death on Friday night.
Police said the bloodshed occurred near an apartment building on the 1500 block of Bryant Avenue off East 172nd Street in Crotona Park East at about 6:35 p.m. on Jan. 9.
Officers from the 42nd Precinct responded to the location after receiving a 911 call about an assault in progress. Upon arrival, they found the victim, 34-year-old Aaron Carpenter of 110th Avenue in St. Albans, who suffered multiple stab wounds throughout his body.
EMS rushed Carpenter to St. Barnabas Hospital in critical condition; however, his condition worsened, and he was later pronounced dead. Police have not yet released the man’s identity, pending family notification.
On Saturday, police announced that they arrested Antonio Jackson, 31, who lives on Bryant Avenue just down the block from the crime scene, in connection with the case. He has been charged with murder, manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
It was the first homicide of 2026 in the 42nd Precinct; last year, the precinct reported 10 murders.
