Suspect arrested in stabbing of Mayfair man

Police have arrested a Juniata Park man in Saturday's stabbing death of a young Mayfair man who was attacked as he walked home with friends from a neighborhood pub.

Angelo Maldonado, 39, of Claridge Street near Pike, was charged with murder and related offenses in the death of Thomas Ewing, 21.

Ewing and a few friends had left Owen's Cafe, on Cottman Avenue near Revere Street, and were walking to his house on Revere just before 3 a.m. when the driver of a passing Ford pickup truck jumped out, argued with him and then stabbed Ewing in the chest, right shoulder and abdomen before fleeing. Medics took Ewing to Aria Health's Torresdale hospital, where he was pronounced dead about 30 minutes later.

Maldonado is being held without bail pending an Aug. 26 preliminary hearing. Court records show he has several past arrests for drug and weapon offenses and assault.

Ewing's funeral is set for Friday.
