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.

Look, if a man moved in so he could more conveniently boink my mother without marrying her, impregnated her, AND took the TV away from me, I'd kill him too. Enough is enough.
I blame malnutrition.
I suppose we have to see the entire picture LoL
Not blunt-edged scissors!
The white man just won’t let the black man get ahead.
LoL!
Justice Sonia Sotomayor's Housing Project Renamed in Her Honor
I had to read that twice. This could be from “The Onion”...
regards,
To be tried in court as a HATE crime, actually the guy HATED the boyfriend...jealousy...and he’ll get double the sentence. Eric Holder needs to look into this one.
LMAO.........
Couldn’t resist reading this one also on NYDailyNews.
Ex-lover Eliza Samudio of Brazil soccer star Bruno Fernandes Das Dores de Souza, killed, fed to dogs
Us Crackers are gonna have to get our act together if we want any press coverage. That teenager has the idea.
My concern here is that a a common item like a kitchen knife
Is legally being defined as a deadly weapon.
This could lead to legal restrictions on common tools.
Cars can be used for assault.
Anything can, as Colonel mustard mused about the use of the candle stick in the parlor...
I don’t like the charge of possession of a deadly weapon.
It was a kitchen utensil for cripes sake.
The kid needs to be prosecuted, but not the kitchen knife.
True irony would have been if the kid strangled the boyfriend with the cable
Hate has been pushed on the black man by the white man.
I expect Holder to convict Glenn Beck of this mans murder because he was the cause of young Adrius' rage.
Welcome to Bizarro World.
“The kid will certainly have cable the rest of his life.....all prisons do!
He will have cable for at least a couple years anyway...
Not having a father around to teach him how to act, "from the beginning"?
The poor kid could not watch Glenn Beck on Fox News Channel, that's why he killed the mother's boyfriend.</satire>
Thankfully, it wasn't a banana...
