He killed for cable.

A Bronx teenager, enraged that his mother's live-in boyfriend turned off the cable in their apartment, plunged a kitchen knife into the man's chest, police and relatives said Saturday.

Adruis Ovalles, 15, jabbed the blade into 26-year-old Albert (Matthew) Hartzog's chest three times, ignoring his mother's cries to stop. Blood splattered throughout the tiny but well-kept Walton Ave. apartment as the life seeped out of Hartzog on Friday.

"The kid was mad he couldn't watch TV," said a tearful Amy Hartzog, the victim's aunt.

"I talked to [Hartzog] just before he got stabbed," she said. "He said they were fighting about the cable."

As Albert Hartzog staggered to the apartment hallway and collapsed, Ovalles calmly walked into his bedroom and dropped the knife. He then stood in the doorway of the apartment and waited to be arrested, police said.

Ovalles was charged with murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. Hartzog, who became a new father just a month ago, died before paramedics could reach the apartment in the Sonia Sotomayor Houses.

Maybe but the article says the victim was working as a security guard. Sad all the way around.

The live-in boyfriend is ~11 years older than the son?

Ovalles was charged with murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon,

a dangerously stupid charge. It was a kitchen utensil.
