NEW YORK — A Bronx man killed his roommate around midday Tuesday and then committed “accidental suicide” when he fled down this apartment building stairwell, tripped and shot himself, police sources and relatives said.
A dispute between the two men boiled over at 12:30 p.m. in the three-bedroom apartment they shared on Rev. James A. Polite Ave. near East 163rd Street in Longwood, according to police.
A 28-year-old man fatally shot his roommate, 32, in the head and grazed another man, 56, in the cheek on the fifth floor of the apartment building.
