Simmons – who was stabbed in the stomach and slashed in the face – was taken to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, police said. 

A second victim, a 28-year-old man who was slashed on the left arm, went to the same hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, cops said.

Both suspects are strangers to Simmons, and the violence stemmed from a dispute – but cops are still probing what fueled the fight, sources said.
