A Philadelphia Man Arrested Following Fatal Bar Stabbing That Left Nicki Minaj's Tour Manager Dead And Another In Critical Condition

A Philadelphia man has been arrested in the stabbings of two members of rapper Nicki Minaj's tour, one of whom died.
 
According to Daily Mail, Authorities say 31-year-old Pierce Boykin (pictured above right) was arrested Monday on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and related offenses.

Police Capt James Clark said more arrests could come. Last week, authorities said they were looking for two suspects.
The double stabbing on Wednesday left 29-year-old Devon Pickett-Tour Manager (pictured left) dead and a second member of Minaj's tour, 27-year-old Eric Parker (pictured right), severely wounded.

Police sources told Philly.com that Boykin critically injured Parker, and that Pickett was killed by another assailant in the same fight.

Police say the stabbing occurred outside a bar after the victims argued with a man inside, allegedly over a woman. Nicki Minaj revealed that the crew members had arrived in Philadelphia only two days earlier to rehearse for a tour.
