OXON HILL, Md. (WJZ) -- Prince George's County police charged 4 people in the fatal stabbing of 19-year-old Erick Ruiz Reyes that took place in November in Oxon Hill.

Police charged the following suspects for the murder of Erick Ruiz Reyes:

Officers responded to a community center property in the 1100 block of Marcy Avenue on Nov. 18 around 2 p.m. for a reported stabbing. That's where they found Reyes suffering from multiple stab wounds.

He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. A second person was reported injured in the assault.

The fatal stabbing stemmed from an ongoing dispute, police said.

The case is gang-related, police said, because three of the suspects are members of a gang. However, the murder was not motivated by their gang affiliations, police said.
