Prosecutors say there may be a motive behind a deadly stabbing that happened inside an Allentown barber shop last week.
New details emerged Friday during a preliminary hearing for the suspect, 43-year-old Eugenio Hernandez-Andino.
Police say Hernandez-Andino stabbed 30- year old Jose Reyes-Espinosa multiple times after a heated argument inside the Washington barbershop last Thursday on West Hamilton street in Allentown.
During his police interview, investigators say Hernandez-Andino admitted to the stabbing and claims he did it because Reyes-Espinosa and a group of men assaulted him in 2009 and he 'wanted to teach him a lesson'.
According to Hernandez-Andino he originally went to the barber shop to meet up with Juan Garcia who works there to get a 'key'.
However when he took the stand on Friday, Garcia, who's currently incarcerated for a parole violation, said he'd never seen Hernandez-Andino before.
Entered as evidence, was cell phone video of the incident captured by Garcia himself.
Prosecutors say the incident was also captured on surveillance video inside the shop.
A police officer who first responded to the scene testified he found Reyes-Espinosa bleeding and lying on a mattress in a back room of the shop with multiple stab wounds to his chest.
Reyes-Espinosa died moments later after being taken to the hospital.
The case is now heading to trial.
