Binghamton police have a significant number of witnesses as they move forward in the investigation of a stabbing incident that left one man dead and one man in intensive care over the weekend.

Police detective Capt. Alex J. Minor, head of the Binghamton Police Department’s detective division, said police interviewed “a good number” of witnesses this weekend.

He would not give a specific number, but said that when a fight broke out among crowds leaving State Street bars, plenty of people were around to witness the stabbings.

“Several people have come forward [as witnesses],” Minor said.

According to a report in the Press & Sun-Bulletin, people gathered in the courtyard behind Uncle Tony’s early Saturday morning. After a heated exchange of words, the group broke into a physical altercation. The suspect, 20-year-old Matthew Mayo, a resident of Clinton Street, then allegedly stabbed 30-year-old Leroy Brown of Cyprus Street, as well as another victim, according to the report. Brown later died.

Eddie Sompholphak, a 25-year-old Dickinson Street resident, suffered a wound to the abdomen, and was admitted to the intensive care unit of Wilson Regional Medical Center, according to the Press & Sun report.

Mayo was chased down by police, who arrested him and sent him to Broome County Jail without bail. Mayo is charged with second-degree murder.

Minor said there are currently no known motives.

“[It] appears that this was just two random groups of people that met behind the bars,” he said.

Minor also said there does not appear to be any previous connection between the suspect and any of the victims. He also said Mayo had no association with Binghamton University, and that there was no indication of drug dealing or gang involvement.
