The NYPD told News 12 that the victims were brothers, and the incident happened just before 5 a.m. along Stratford Avenue near Westchester Avenue.
Authorities say officers found 27-year-old Leider Guevara Cubas with a stab wound to the chest and 24-year-old Ernesto Hector Guevera with a stab wound to the abdomen.
Luis Mercado said he knew the brothers.
“The were good people, good person, good guys,” Mercado said.
Police said that the siblings were taken to local hospitals where they were pronounced dead.

Neighbor Carmen Vasquez said she’s on edge.
“Just walking right here, you’re able to see the blood and that is just scary,” Vasquez said. “I didn’t even let my kids get nearby.”
Vasquez said she’s scared but not surprised.

Police said no arrests have been made as of Sunday night.
