WASHINGTON HEIGHTS—Police have charged two Bronx men over the stabbing death of a bouncer outside a St. Nicholas Avenue restaurant and nightclub.
Jonathan Gonzales-Alvarez, 21, and Luis Almanzar, 30, allegedly attacked the bouncer after he'd kicked them out of La Casa Del Mofongo early Tuesday.
The bouncer, Arsene Epouta, of Washington Heights, was stabbed several times in the torso and was pronounced dead at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center, police said.
Gonzalez-Alvarez and Almanzar had reportedly been acting rowdy inside La Casa del Mofongo, a popular 24-hour Dominican restaurant. Surveillance video showed Almanzar stabbing Epouta, 29, with a knife, police told the Daily News.
The two men were charged with murder, police said. They are expected in court on Monday.
