The man was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, where he died of his injuries. He has been identified by the district attorney's office as 19-year-old Kyle Ambrose.

Brockton police and state police investigated the incident, canvassing the area and reviewing surveillance video.

As a result of their investigation, the district attorney's office said investigators developed probable cause to arrest 18-year-old Jayden Fernandez. They learned that Fernandez was being treated at Newton Wellesley Hospital for a hand injury, and he was taken into custody there.

He pleaded not guilty to a first-degree murder charge Monday in Brockton District Court, prosecutors said.

The investigation is ongoing, the district attorney's office said.
