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."
