A man suspected of a fatal stabbing in East Boston last Friday was arrested a week later in Everett, police said.
Edwin Mendez Hernandez, 20, was arrested about 8 a.m. on Friday, Boston police said, exactly a week after police found Wilfredo Landaverde Arevalo, 34, fatally stabbed on Gove Street by Tomahawk Drive in East Boston.
Arevalo, from Medford, was rushed to a hospital but pronounced dead, according to police, and investigators identified Hernandez as the suspect. Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Hernandez, from Everett, on a murder charge.
Hernandez was arrested at a home on Hancock Street in Everett, according to police. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney who could speak to his arrest.
