One man is dead and his roommate is in jail following a fatal argument at their Lee County home early Sunday.
Sheriff’s deputies responded at 2:34 a.m. to a home in the 900 block of Lee County Road 147 in the Beauregard community.
They arrived to find 41-year-old Cory Vernon Rogers dead inside. He had multiple stab wounds to his chest, side and back, according to sheriff’s officials.
Daniel Ray Metcalf, 34, was taken into custody at the residence. Investigators said he admitted to stabbing his roommate.
Witnesses told detectives the two men got into an argument and then started physically fighting. That’s when, they said, Metcalf pulled a knife and stabbed Rogers.
Metcalf is held without bond in the Lee County Jail.
Anyone with additional information is asked to call investigators at 334-749-5651 or Central Alabama Crime Stoppers at 334-215-STOP.
