A fight between two roommates became deadly Friday night in a Texas neighborhood.
Police found a man lying dead around 11:30 p.m. near the entrance to the Monte Carlo Apartment Homes in west Houston.
According to the Chron, witnesses said they saw the men fighting outside of their apartment. One of the men stabbed the other with a steak knife.
The dispute began when the men argued about who would eat the last piece of fried chicken that had been prepared for a meal at their home.
"There was a single drumstick in the pan," said Houston Police Department Homicide Detective Fil Waters. "You can't script this stuff. It's someone getting killed over a piece of chicken. Pretty tragic."
The suspect fled the scene, but returned and was arrested around 4 a.m., Waters said.
