Dead is Recardo Bailey, 38, of Bagotstown, EBD.

Dead: Ricardo Bailey
However, the argument escalated and the men were engaged in a brawl.
As they wrestled, it is alleged that the suspect drew a knife from his pants waist and stabbed Bailey five times before escaping west along Norton Street.
The injured man was rushed to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre by public-spirited citizens but was pronounced dead.
The body was examined, and five stab wounds – one to the left shoulder, left side abdomen, left hand, right side lower back, and right forearm – were seen.
The suspect is still on the run and investigations are ongoing.
