STAMFORD, Conn. (CBSNewYork) -- Police in Stamford have made two arrests in connection with the city's first murder of the year.

"He was standing out in a crowd and he said, 'Who is going to be the next person to get cut?' Gentleman was just walking by and he cut him," Chief Jon Fontneau told WCBS 880's Fran Schneidau.
Capt. Richard Conklin said the teen stabbed Muralles repeatedly in and around his heart with a knife, Schneidau reported.
An alleged accomplice, 22-year-old James McLamb of New Haven, took over by pummeling Muralles and stomping on his chest as he lay bleeding out on the sidewalk, Fontneau told Schneidau.
McLamb and the teen are both charged with murder.
McLamb, who has a long criminal record, is being held on $2 million bond.
