A man is dead following an apparent domestic dispute in Bushwick, authorities say.

Police responded to 1225 Broadway just after 2 a.m. Sunday. Investigators say they found 21-year-old Kevin Rivera stabbed in the chest in his girlfriend's third-floor apartment.

Rivera was taken to Woodhull Medical Center in critical condition, but was later pronounced dead.

Sources say the stabbing stemmed from a domestic dispute involving the victim's girlfriend. The sources say that Rivera was allegedly stabbed by an 81-year-old relative of the girlfriend. They then allegedly fled the scene.
