Joseph Gomez, 21, was arrested at 12:15 p.m., and charged with murder, manslaughter, criminal possession of a weapon and two counts of assault.
At about 3:17 a.m. on July 4, police responded to a 911 call of a male stabbed in front of 3286 Radio Dr. in the Country Club neighborhood.
Upon arrival, officers observed a man with multiple stab wounds to the torso.
The victim was later identified as 26-year-old Luis Cartagena.
