ELMHURST — Two men were arrested for the fatal Thanksgiving Day stabbing of a 23-year-old man on a Queens street, police said.

Sunset Park resident Fernando Balcarce, 25, was arrested Thursday for the stabbing death of Jan Carlos Salcedo outside of 43-28 Judge St., the NYPD said. On Friday morning, police said they arrested Jackson Heights resident Jesse Granados, 23, in connection with the same crime.

Salcedo, of the Bronx, was stabbed in the torso about 12:15 p.m. and taken to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

According to the Daily News, Balcare, Granados and a group got into an argument with Salcedo, then robbed and stabbed him. The NYPD is looking for additional suspects, a police spokesman said. 

Balcarce and Granados were both charged with murder, robbery, gang assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
