Aquino tried to flee, but Rodriguez and Martinez chased after him only to have him turn around and stab Rodriguez in the torso and Martinez in the abdomen, police said.
Both victims were taken to Lincoln Medical Center where Rodriguez, of Melrose, was pronounced dead, police said.
Martinez was initially listed as critical, but his condition improved, officials said.
Police did not say what sparked the fight.
