WAYNE, N.J. (1010 WINS) — A New Jersey man has been arrested and charged with strangling his 60-year-old roommate to death after an argument.
Frank Rance, 38, of Wayne, has been charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the death of Frank Majuri, according to Passaic County Prosecutor Camelia Valdes.
According to police, officers responded to a residence on Hinchman Avenue around 10:33 p.m. on Friday for a reported domestic dispute.
Police did not say what the argument was about, but noted officers were able to defuse the situation between the two roommates and left.
About an hour later, Wayne police responded to another call for a report of an unresponsive man at the same residence. When they arrived, they found Majuri on the ground and were unsuccessful at attempts to revive him.
Majuri was pronounced dead just after midnight Saturday morning, according to the prosecutor’s office.
Investigators said Rance had strangled the man during their argument, ultimately resulting in his death.
Rance was arrested at the scene without incident.
Officials note the investigation remains ongoing.
The Passaic County Prosecutor's Office asks anyone with additional information to contact them on their tips line at 1-877-370-PCPO or contact Det. Darren Williams at the Wayne Police Detective Bureau at 973-633-3534 or 973-694-0600.
