Suffolk County police officers responding to an emergency call Saturday night say they found 37-year-old Ecuadorean Marcello Lucero stabbed in the chest in Patchogue.
They say a friend who was with him was unhurt.
Police say they quickly rounded up seven white boys ages 16 and 17 from Medford and East Patchogue.
The boys are charged with gang assault.
One of them is charged with manslaughter as a hate crime.
They're being held until arraignment Monday.

Sadly ... The Hate continues.
While this incident may have nothing to do with the recent election - it has everything to do with it.
We as a nation turned to our foundations of truth and hope.
Yet there are those that wallow in the muck and mire of hate and want all of us to wallow with them.
In this climate those who hate feel free to hate even more and to act upon that hate.
We have to put an end to their sense of entitlement to hate and do as they please.
The election of those seeking to progress and the reverence to hope in lieu of the reverence of fear is the first step.
As for these low-brows, breaking a stout hickory ax handle across the bridge of their noses would be a good start.
