'Stinky feet' stabbing leads to murder charge

2007 Houston Chronicle

A man who allegedly fatally stabbed a roommate who complained about his smelly feet has been charged with murder, police said.

Authorities said William Antonio Serrano, 22, stabbed his roommate numerous times about 7:50 p.m. Saturday in their apartment at 181 Goodson.

The victim's identity has not been released. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Serrano was charged with murder in the 262nd State District Court.

The two men shared a 10-foot-square bedroom at the Magnolia Cove Apartment Homes in the 100 block of Goodson, said Sgt. M. Sosa of the homicide squad.

They subleased the bedroom from a married couple and their newborn baby, who also lived in the apartment, Sosa said.

On Saturday night, the mother was sitting outside with her child while the two roommates drank together inside, he said. The woman's husband was not home at the time.

At some point, an argument broke out over one of the men's "stinky feet," Sosa said.

About 8 p.m., the woman peeked inside the window and saw one of the men with two knives in his hands, Sosa said.

"By the time she got inside, he was on top of the other man," he said.

The woman called 911 and fled the apartment. "The suspect comes after her and says, 'I didn't mean to do it, I didn't mean to do it,'" Sosa said.

Shortly after 10 p.m., police escorted the man from the apartment, barefoot and handcuffed as a crowd of neighbors looked on.

What if he takes off his shoes?

then why bother asking in the first place? just to be annoying?

[Peikko 1,575]

No, to highlight your pathetic attempt to make another thread into some illegal alien rant.

Taking off his shoes might work, no idea how stinky his feet are.

it's a legitimate question, dearie. i wouldn't expect you to know anything about the difference between legitimate and illegitimate though

Condescension and back handed insults? Tut, tut, tut, not very impressive. As for the legitimate question, um, so how is that legitimate, exactly? How does it change the events, exactly? How would it be worse/better/different in relation to this tragic tale if one or more of the participants were indeed to be an illegal alien?

yes, i stole a page from your playbook

if you've been following any of peejay's posts about the houston area, you'd already have the answers to your questions now wouldn't you?

[Peikko 1,575]

Playbook? Right.

Regardless, Peejay normally makes it very clear when he is posting a thread which references illegal aliens, so why would he be so coy now? And again I ask, how does it effect this particulary incident one way or another anyway?

You are either attempting humour or you are trying to play the 'illegals are the route of all evil' card. Your response to my question rules out humour.
