Mark killed Dean in his home, and then ran out in panic. The police found fingerprints belonging to another person, but Mark was arrested. Why? Mind you, there were no witnesses and nothing else was found that could incriminate Mark.

Of course there were Dean's fingerprints in his home, but it doesn't explain why Mark got arrested.

Mark was jaywalking? (Or otherwise arrested for something entirely unrelated to the murder.)

"his home" means Mark's home.

Nope. He was arrested for killing Dean.

Actually, it means Dean's home, not Mark's. That is what I meant, but the way it is worded it does leave room for interpretation.

Just so there is no plausible confusion, the knife in the chest and above fingerprints were the only evidence found in Dean's flat.

The fingerprints were of Mark's wife, who was there to help Mark when he committed the crime.

Nope. There was nobody else in Dean's flat when the crime was committed.

No. Mark bought the knife and he showed it to nobody who could recognize it.

The storekeeper who sold the knife to Mark has no role in the case.

They found Dean's ape's fingerprints on a shiny pendent that Mark was wearing. Since it is part of a costume that Mark rented for a party, it can only mean Mark went to visit Dean during the party, which is when Dean was killed.

The fingerprints led the police to another person who, they found, was also lying dead in his house. In this house,.the police found evidence against Mark

The fingerprints were found on the knife, and no costumes. Interesting idea though.

Only poor Dean died that night.

Mark and the person whose fingerprints were found on the spot were Siamese Twins.

If there is an alternative answer, I suppose this one is it.  But there are no Siamese twins regarding the intended answer.

Mark was incharge of some morgue. He bought the knife, got the fingerprint of one of the dead bodies in the morgue on the knife and killed Dean. The police traced the fingerprint to the dead body in the morgue and arrested Mark since he was the incharge.

Not bad, but he ran out in panic. He would have to be calm enough to do what you suggest. Hell, he would have to be cold as ice, calculated and all.

The ape and costume idea was from Columbo.
What about: Dean wrote his name with his own fingerprints on the knife blade. Of course, he could have written his name with blood, but he was afraid Mark would come back and wipe it.

That seems impossibly hard. Also, the fingerprints were of "another person."
The police were desperate to find someone to assuage the fears of the public, and so arrested Mark (luckily choosing the actual murderer).

So far, none of the answers seem to have anything to do with him running away in panic.
When Mark ran out, he also ran in...to another person. Afraid that person might have seen the murder, he kills him, and hides the body, which is later found and linked to Mark.

I dunno, that seems to go against the idea that "there were no witnesses and nothing else was found that could incriminate Mark" thing. My guess is that the fingerprints are still somehow key.
