The Associated Press

HOUSTON -- A 22-year-old man is accused of fatally stabbing his roommate after the dead man complained about the suspect's smelly feet, police said Monday.

William Antonio Serrano and his roommate were drinking Saturday night in the 10-foot-by-10-foot bedroom they subleased from a married couple, Houston police Sgt. Macario Sosa said. An argument broke out after a comment about "stinky feet," Sosa said.

The woman who lived in the apartment was outside with her newborn baby when she looked in a window and saw the suspect with two knives in his hands, Sosa said.

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

The roommate was stabbed several times, Sosa said.

Serrano was in the Harris County Jail on Monday facing a murder charge.

The roommate's name had not been released by Monday afternoon.
