An ongoing dispute erupted early today into a melee in a northeast Charlotte parking lot that left one dead and two injured with life-threatening injuries.

Police have identified the dead man, but won't release his name until family members are notified. He died from a stab wound and the other two also were stabbed during the fight.

The incident took place about 2:30 a.m. at the Townhomes of Ashebrook at 1939 Eastway Drive. It stemmed from an earlier verbal disagreement at a local bar, according to police. When police arrived to the lot, there were three victims suffering from multiple stab wounds. They were taken to Carolinas Medical Center.
