NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – A 24-year-old man was stabbed to death Sunday by his 16-year-old housemate during a fight over noise at their Queens home, police said.
The teen suspect, who wasn't identified due to his age, was charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon following the stabbing around 6 a.m. Sunday at 102nd Street and 35th Avenue in Corona.
The teen allegedly stabbed his older housemate, Byron Lema-Naula, as the two of them argued about loud music and other noise. It’s unclear whose noise sparked the deadly fight.
Lema-Naula suffered a stab wound to the neck, police said.
He was rushed by EMS to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where he was pronounced dead.
