SOMERVILLE, MASS. (WHDH) - A man is facing assault charges in connection with a fatal stabbing in Somerville on Saturday, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office said.

Officers responding to a reported stabbing at the Clarendon Hill Apartments on Alewife Brook Parkway shortly before 4 p.m. found a man suffering from stab wounds, the DA’s office said. The man, later identified as Kesner Lubin Jr., 27, of Somerville was taken to Mass General Hospital and pronounced dead.

After investigating, the DA’s office said Lubin and another apartment complex resident known to Lubin had an argument that turned into a physical fight.

During the fight Washington Assis-Rodrigues, 26, allegedly stabbed Lubin.

Assis-Rodrigues was charged with assault and battery causing serious bodily injury. He will be arraigned by teleconference Monday in Somerville District Court.

The DA’s office said additional charges are possible and the investigation is ongoing.
