Bronx Man Kills Roommate Then Accidentally Commits Suicide While Fleeing
Suspect Kills NYC Roommate, Trips On Steps While Fleeing & Fatally Shoots Himself
A Bronx man killed his roommate around midday Tuesday and then committed “accidental su*c*de” 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.

The gunman fled the scene, taking the stairs faster than his feet could keep up with him, sources said.
When the suspect got to the third floor, his baggy trousers tripped him up and, according to a detective on the case, he fell with his finger still on the trigger, discharging the weapon a final time and blasting himself with a fatal bullet to the neck.
“It was a murder/accidental su*c*de,” a police source said. “He shoots the guy, runs down the stairs and shoots himself in the head.”
A woman who shares the apartment with the two men confirmed that the shooter and the victim lived together in the apartment.
