A 26-year-old Land O’ Lakes man is accused of murdering his 63-year-old roommate with a cane, then stuffing his body in a closet to hide the crime.
Detectives with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office interviewed Jon Erik Heffner after the medical examiner determined his roommate, Charles Byrd, had died as a result of a homicide.
The medical examiner said that Byrd suffered from head, neck and mouth trauma.
Heffner allegedly told deputies that he and his roommate shared a bedroom and in the past they had argued over the use of the television.
Heffner told deputies he approached Byrd from behind and without provocation and hit him 5 to 10 times over the head and neck area with a folded metal walking stick. Byrd fell to the ground and Heffner kicked him several times in the torso area.
They shared a bedroom???
