A Maryland man was arrested after he allegedly shot and killed his roommate during an argument over a remote control, police said.
Springdale resident Richard Bennaugh, 38, has been charged with murder in connection with the death of Domonique Scott Hayes, 27, last week.
Prince George’s County Police said on Instagram Friday that officers responded around 12:30 a.m. Thursday.
“Officers found the deceased inside a home suffering from gunshot wounds,” said a police statement. “He was pronounced dead at the scene.”
“A preliminary investigation revealed Bennaugh shot the victim during a dispute,” authorities added.
According to documents obtained by FOX 5 DC, Bennaugh called police about six hours after the shooting, which happened between 5:30 a.m. and 6 a.m.
He reportedly told them that his roommate “had come at him with a knife,” the document said.

Bennaugh told police she fell asleep on the couch and was woken up by Scott Hayes “making a lot of noise” in the kitchen.
Scott Hayes then repeatedly asked Bennaugh where the remote was, but the suspect ignored him.
Bennaugh, who had a blanket over his head, removed the blanket and allegedly saw Scott Hayes holding two knives.

The suspect then grabbed his gun and started shooting before running to his room on the third floor.
The suspect claimed that he did not see that Scott Hayes was injured, so he assumed that no bullet hit him and went back to sleep.
Prince George’s County police are asking anyone with information about the case to call its homicide unit at 301-516-2512.
