A teenager was fatally stabbed and another injured during a brawl early Saturday behind a Levittown nightclub, Nassau County police said.

The accused stabber, Jovany Huddleston, was arrested at the scene, and the mortally wounded victim, Bryant Nunez, was declared dead hours later at a hospital, police said.

The altercation began inside the club, Shy Lounge at 2686 Hempstead Turnpike, with pushing, shoving and fistfighting, and reignited in a nearby parking lot at about 3:40 a.m. after bouncers ejected the troublemakers, police said.

Huddleston, 23, used a pocketknife to stab Nunez in the abdomen, as well as the other victim, Rainero Ramirez, in the neck, police said.

Both victims were brought to Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow. Nunez, 19, of Brentwood, died at 8:25 a.m., police said.

Ramirez, 18, of Brentwood, was treated and released.

Huddleston, Nunez and Ramirez didn't know one another, police said.

Huddleston, of 216 Sherman St. in Brentwood, was to be arraigned Sunday at First District Court on a second-degree murder charge.

Det. Sgt. Gregory Quinn, a police homicide squad supervisor, said that as police officers arrived, some people in the crowd who may have seen what happened left. He asked witnesses to call the squad at 516-573-7788.

The owner of Sky Lounge did not immediately return a call for comment.

Shy Lounge specializes in Top 40, pop, R&B/hip-hop music, VIP services and live performances, according to a Newsday feature last year on hot spots.
