Incremona said detectives have yet to identify a suspect or suspects in the attack, saying that police have no name or description to provide. Any and all information about the incident should be directed to the Red Bank Police Department, he said.

Though details about the attack and its provocation remain limited, Incremona did say that the two men who were stabbed Sunday morning are not responsible for each other’s injuries.

There is no official cause of death, Incremona said, pending an autopsy, which has yet to be conducted.

Bank Street resident Toni Brown identified Yarbrough as the victim.

"He was a good guy," she said. "You know, all I heard was that he got into a confrontation and things got bad."

Brown said she did not have additional information about the incident and how the altercation went down but that she could confirm that Yarbrough was killed.

Several Yarbrough's have listed addresses in Red Bank, including a Katherleen Yarbrough who lives on Bank Street. Calls to the Bank Street Yarbrough residence were not answered Sunday morning.

Investigators remain on scene as of Sunday afternoon.
