A man in Minneapolis, Sincir Malik Porter, has been arrested and is facing charges for the killing of his roommate after allegedly arguing over $15.
According to People, 21-year-old Porter is looking at two counts of second-degree murder after being accused of stabbing his 25-year-old roommate, Abdirahman Adan Abdirahman. Minneapolis police officers have stated that the two men were having a dispute over $15, and Porter ended up killing Abdirahman when he stabbed him in the neck with a knife. The deadly incident took place July 6 and was seen on surveillance video.
After being summoned, police arrived at the apartment and came upon a scene where the officers saw “a large amount of blood on the floor and walls in the living room” and recovered a bloody knife at the front of the residence, according to a probable cause statement filed with the court. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries.
Someone who was on the scene reportedly told police officers that Porter said to them that Abdirahman “made [him] flash out.”
The video revealed that the two men could be heard “arguing over $15,” and Porter was seen holding a knife while they argued. He then used the knife to attack Abdirahman, stabbing him once. In the document, it stated that, “[Abdirahman] appeared to get into a fighting stance before he realized he had been stabbed and collapsed to the ground.”
