They were both rushed to Maimonides Hospital in critical condition. A 66-year-old man died at the hospital just 45 minutes later.
He was later identified as Carlos Guaman.
His cousin, a 52-year-old man, said that he was drinking at the time of the incident and was highly intoxicated.
Police say he told officers he didn't remember what happened or how he even got to the scene of the attack.
Officers reviewed surveillance video from a doorbell camera and they say it showed the men get out of the vehicle and then the driver exited and start hitting the men in the face.
It's not yet known if a weapon was used.
