It was unclear what led to the Saturday morning dispute at this time.

Smith had been in a relationship with the daughter of Santana's girlfriend, police told the Post, but it’s unknown if they were still in a relationship.

Santana was transported to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacobi where he was pronounced deceased.
