A man who was stabbed to death during a fight at a Cambridge apartment complex last week has been identified as 37-year-old Antoine Johnson, according to the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office.
South Boston resident Victor Rivas, 51, pleaded not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon resulting in serious bodily injury in connection with Johnson’s death during his arraignment in Cambridge District Court on Jan. 9, according to court records. The charge had not been upgraded as of Wednesday.
A 911 caller reported the stabbing at a Norfolk Street apartment complex shortly after 7:50 p.m. on Jan. 6, the district attorney’s office said previously. First responders found Johnson with serious stab wounds and took him to a nearby hospital where he later died.
The preliminary investigation indicates that Rivas and Johnson knew each other, the district attorney’s office said. Authorities believe Rivas stabbed Johnson during a fight. Rivas was also injured.
Rivas was released on bail on Monday under special conditions, including a curfew, according to court records.
No further information about the stabbing has been released.
