Fight over fried chicken turns fatal

[Liberal_in_LA]

A roommates' fight over fried chicken turned deadly Friday night in a west Houston apartment, police said.

Houston police found a man later identified as Darwin Perez Gonzalez, 34, lying dead around 11:30 p.m. outside near the entrance to the Monte Carlo Apartment Homes on Lakewood Estates Drive.

Several witnesses saw the fight, which started between Gonzales and roommate Reinaldo Cardoso Rivera, 38, over the last piece of homemade fried chicken, a drumstick. They went outside to fight over the chicken, and that's when Rivera allegedly stabbed Gonzalez with a steak knife.

The fight over the drumstick was probably just the inciting incident after a long build up. Too many people sharing a small space can lead to an explosion of violence. Welcome to housing in the 21st century.
