The NYPD arrested 19-year-old Jefter Dominguez and charged him with attempted murder and reckless endangerment. 


Police said the investigation is ongoing and more arrests are possible. 


At around 12:30 am on May 27, police responded to reports of a brawl involving multiple people arrived at 1801 Archer Street. On the sidewalk they found 28-year-old Figueroa, unresponsive with multiple stab wounds to the torso. The victim was rushed to Jacobi Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
