He had earlier allegedly attacked someone inside his hostel on Sunday.
The survivor, also thought to be an asylum seeker, was being treated in hospital yesterday.
Police are trying to establish a motive.
The suspect, 44, was living in an end-terraced house in Hartlepool paid for by the Home Office.
Police were called at 5.17am.
Mr Carney was found half a mile away.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder before a knife was found outside a sandwich shop.
One neighbour said: “It was a real shock for everyone in the street.
“There has never been anything like this happen before.
“We heard that someone had found a knife in the street nearby and then a body had been found a short distance away.”
