The Bronx District Attorney’s Office says a Bronx man faced a judge for the first time for allegedly fatally stabbing a Queens man in Crotona Park East.

Antonio J. Jackson, 31, is charged with murder, accused of killing Aaron Carpenter, 34, in front of 1500 Bryant Ave. Friday.

Authorities say officers discovered Carpenter just after 6:30 p.m. with stab wounds throughout his body. EMS took him to St. Barnabas Hospital, where he died.

The relationship between Carpenter and Jackson is unknown.

Prosecutors say Jackson faces additional charges including manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon. He is due back in court Thursday.
