Marvin Ernesto Funez-Martinez was arrested over the weekend after a dispute over payment for a ride resulted in one person dead, according to the sheriff's office.

Patrol officers were called shortly before 3:30 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 29 to the 4100 block of Gateway Boulevard, where there was a report of a person armed with a weapon, and upon arrival, a witness directed them to a parked car nearby, where they found a person who had been stabbed to death and left inside.

Witnesses in the area were able to advise responding officers that the White Plains resident was still in the area of a nearby home and a police K9 tracked him to the back of the house, where he was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, assault, and other related charges.

A spokesperson for the sheriff's office said that the victim has been identified, but it is not being released until his family is notified.

The incident remains under investigation.
