David Dalaia and James O'Hare pushed Virgilio Cintron's body from the apartment Mr O'Hare and Mr Cintron shared about a block away to Pay-O-Matic, a cheque-cashing shop, police spokesman Paul Browne said.
"The witnesses saw the two pushing the chair with Cintron flopping from side to side and the two individuals propping him up..." Mr Browne said.
The men left Mr Cintron's body outside the shop, went inside and tried to cash his $US355 ($405) cheque, the Associated Press reported.
The shop assistant, who knew Mr Cintron, asked where he was and Mr O'Hare said he would go and get him.
But by now a crowd had formed around the body and attracted the attention of a police detective having lunch at a restaurant next door.
"It's immediately apparent to him that Cintron is dead," Mr Browne said.
He called on-duty police and Mr O'Hare and Mr Dalaia were arrested as they prepared to wheel Mr Cintron's body into the cheque-cashing shop.
