Charged with murder is James McLamb, 22, of 37 Harding Place, New Haven, police said. A 15-year-old has also been charged with murder, police said. His name has not been released.

A press conference has been scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, where more details of the arrests and the crime will be released. 

Antonio Muralles, 52, died early Thursday of a stab wound to the chest from the attack Wednesday evening, police said. 

At about 8:15 p.m. Wednesday, Stamford EMS was responding to an unrelated incident when they saw a man collapse at the corner of Broad and Bedford streets downtown near the McDonald's, police said.

They started to treat the man and saw a stab wound to his chest, police said. He was transported to Stamford Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery. After several hours of surgery, he died of his injuries at 1:07 a.m., police said. 

A group was assaulting the man with a stick when one of the male attackers pulled out a knife and stabbed Muralles several times in the torso, police said. The attackers fled on foot in different directions, police said.

The area is very heavily traveled and was well lit at the time of the attack, police said.
