They were both rushed to Maimonides Hospital in critical condition. A 66-year-old man died at the hospital just 45 minutes later.
He was later identified as Carlos Guaman.
His cousin, a 52-year-old man, said that he was drinking at the time of the incident and was highly intoxicated.

Officers reviewed surveillance video from a doorbell camera and they say it showed the men get out of the vehicle and then the driver exited and start hitting the men in the face.
