BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Two southwest Idaho men are in custody following the fatal stabbing of another man outside a Boise strip club Thursday morning.

Boise police say they responded to The Torch Lounge at about 2:30 a.m. and found one man dead. Another man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Authorities say a police dog located 32-year-old Parley L. Ward of Meridian and 30-year-old Phillip D. Law of Boise crouching next to a nearby building just before 4 a.m. and they were arrested.

Authorities on Thursday afternoon identified 35-year-old Humberto Herrera of Hailey as having died due to a stab wound to the chest.

Police say witnesses report a fight over a cab preceded the stabbing.
