Lashawn Davis, 27, voluntarily went to the Hartford police station on Sunday and asked to speak with investigators, police said, and he has been arrested in connection with the stabbing of Jonathan Lamont Cox, 34, of Hartford.
Cox was stabbed in the chest at 165 Benton Street at 10:09 a.m. on Saturday and transported to Hartford Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, police said.

Police are continuing to investigate two other acts of violence in the city over the weekend.
A woman was sexually assaulted and stabbed on Marshall Street in Hartford early Sunday morning, according to police.
