A Binghamton man has been accused of stabbing a man to death on Washington Street.
According to the Binghamton Police Department, officers responded to a report of a stabbing at about 5:15 p.m. on May 13 at the Salvation Army located at 131 Washington St.
At the scene, officers found Kevin L. Ray, 57, of Endicott, in the store suffering from stab wounds to his shoulder and neck. EMS provided life-saving measures and transported Ray to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Police said 37-year-old Michael W. Brutvan entered the location, which was hosting a community meal, and stabbed the victim several times.

He was taken into custody in front of the Salvation Army by a responding officer.
Brutvan has been charged with second-degree murder. He was arraigned in Binghamton City Court on May 14.
The incident remains under investigation. Binghamton Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Binghamton Police Detective Bureau at 607-772-7080.
