Authorities say a suspect has been arrested in the stabbing death of a Haverhill man.

Oscar Quinones, 18, of Haverhill, was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder, according to the Essex District Attorney’s office. He is being held without bail until his arraignment.

Police say the 19-year-old victim was with a group of friends at Haverhill Stadium on Tuesday when Quinones approached, stabbed the man and then fled. The man was taken to a nearby hospital and flown to Massachusetts General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

WHAV identified the victim as Efrain Indio Maisonet of Haverhill, according to Carrie Kimball, spokesperson for Essex County District Attorney Jonathan W. Blodgett.


Quinones is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday. A message seeking comment was left with his attorney.
