Police investigate fatal Allston stabbing

ALLSTON (FOX25, myfoxboston) - A judge has revoked bail for a Boston man charged as an accessory in a fatal stabbing in the Brighton neighborhood.

Prosecutors say the victim, 24-year-old Gregory Phillips, was stabbed once in the heart when two groups fought after leaving a bar early Sunday.

Minutes after the stabbing, police arrested 22-year-old Corey Patterson and charged him with accessory after the fact of murder. He was also charged with assaulting the arresting officers.

Boston police continue to search for more suspects in connection with the fatal stabbing.

Authorities say the Patterson was found suffering from a stab wound outside a convenience store at about 2:15 a.m. on Sunday. He was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
