Police in Miami-Dade have arrested and charged a Miami-Dade man with murder after alleging that he used a machete to murder his roommate. Jose Morales, 47, was arrested early Monday morning on second-degree murder charges according to court documents.
Morales, his victim and another witness all live as roommates on Southwest 205th Street where an arrest report says this incident took place.
On Sunday night, Morales returned home and became embroiled in an argument with his mother regarding money while the victim sat at the dinner table.
Morales approached him “in an aggressive manner,” according to the report, and advised him not to interfere in conversations that did not pertain to him.
The victim armed himself with a Taser to disengage Morales from him and physical confrontation ensued.
