Two teenagers were arrested in connection to a stabbing that left a man dead and two others injured outside a Brooklyn party over the weekend, authorities said Monday. 

A 17-year-old boy whose name was not released because he is a minor and JoanChicaiza, 19, were charged over the violence that unfolded around 3:10 a.m. Saturday in East Williamsburg.

The boy was allegedly linked to the fatal stabbing of Diego Ramirez, 24, and hit with charges of murder, attempted murder, and three counts of criminal possession of a weapon, cops said. 

Chicaiza, of Queens, was charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, as well as menacing and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said.

The bloodshed happened when a party at Knickerbocker Avenue and Thames Street got out of control — with Ramirez getting stabbed in the back and an unnamed 26-year-old stabbed in the torso, cops said. 

EMS brought both victims to Elmhurst Hospital, where Ramirez was declared dead and the 26-year-old remained in critical condition, the NYPD said.

A third victim, a 21-year-old man, walked into Wyckoff Heights Medical Center with stab wounds to his torso. He was in serious but stable condition, police said.

The suspects drove off in a gray SUV, the NYPD said. 

They were nabbed later that day after police reviewed surveillance footage showing the fleeing vehicle, cops said. 

Investigators ran the license plate and found an address — which they visited and found the two teens, who fit the description, police said.
