CALDWELL — Authorities say a Guatemalan man living in New Jersey was stabbed to death over the weekend.

The man, who authorities have not identified pending a “formal” confirmation of his identity and a notification of his family, worked and lived in Caldwell, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn A. Murray and Caldwell Police Chief James Bongiorno announced in a joint release Monday.

The man, who authorities described as “young,” was fatally stabbed in an apartment apartment above a business in the 400 block of Bloomfield Avenue Sunday at about 2:30 p.m., officials said. Though authorities said no arrests have been made in the stabbing, they said the man and attacker knew each other before the stabbing.

An investigation into the fatal stabbing is ongoing, officials said.
