A 21-year-old man died after being stabbed during an argument at a Queens nightclub early Sunday morning, police said.
According to the NYPD, the incident occurred around 1:50 a.m. at Sweets of NY gentleman’s club on Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica when the victim got into a dispute with another man near the bar area, police said.
The confrontation escalated when police say the other man pulled out a sharp object and stabbed the victim in the chest before fleeing the scene.
According to police, the wounded man, who was semiconscious and bleeding heavily, managed to exit through the club’s side door but collapsed on the sidewalk outside. Officers found him at the end of a blood trail leading from the bar to the sidewalk.
Emergency medical personnel transported the victim to Jamaica Hospital, where he was initially listed in critical condition. He later died from his injuries, police said.
Investigators are searching for a person of interest who fled the scene in a white BMW, traveling northbound after the attack, police said. The motive behind the deadly argument remains unclear.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing.
Police are asking anyone with information about the stabbing to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS or 888-57-PISTA for Spanish speakers. Tips can also be submitted online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or through X at @NYPDTips.
