NEW HAVEN, CT – A local man was arrested by police Monday and charged with fatally stabbing another man.

Carlos Berrios, 42, is suspected of murdering James Edward Foley, 50, on Sunday, according to a release. Police responded close to 5:30 a.m. that morning to reports of a man being stabbed inside an apartment on Saltonstall Avenue.

Foley was rushed to Yale New Haven Hospital, where he died about five hours later from stab-wounds to his chest and upper body. The victim lived on State Street in New Haven.
