Two men were stabbed to death in the Bronx early on Sunday morning, police reported.
Law enforcement sources said the bloodshed occurred at about 4:51 a.m. on Oct. 13 in front of a shopping plaza at 1215 Stratford Ave. in Soundview.
Officers from the 43rd Precinct, in responding to a 911 call about the location, found a 27-year-old man stabbed in the chest and a 24-year-old man knifed in the abdomen.
