A poker player from Macon, Georgia, USA, is in custody after allegedly stabbing another poker player to death at a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.

According to media reports, Vincente Perez, 57, of Macon, is in an Atlantic City jail on $50,000 bond, after being charged with aggravated manslaughter, unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose.

Police allege that Perez stabbed Arthur Prince, 61, of Toms River, New Jersey, USA, on Saturday afternoon after the men had an argument at a poker table at the Donald Trump-owned Taj Mahal hotel and casino, media reports said.

When the men left the casino poker room and went to their vehicles in the casino parking lot, police allege, their altercation continued and culminated with Perez stabbing Prince repeatedly, the reports said

Prince suffered multiple stab wounds to the face, abdomen and back, and died Monday at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center in Atlantic City, the reports said.

Media did not report what the two were arguing about at the poker table.
