Police are looking for Cloves Roche, who is suspected in a shooting of a Harlem teenager over a 32-inch television.
Eleventh-grader Rodney Lewis just wanted his family's TV back, but he was shot to death Wednesday by the neighbor who borrowed it, his family said Wednesday.
The East Harlem 17-year-old confronted his downstairs neighbor Wednesday afternoon demanding the return of 32-inch set. Words led to punches in a fourth-floor hallway inside the Woodrow Wilson Houses on E. 105 St., and the neighbor ended the fight with two shots, police said.
"He went to get one of his cousin's television back," said Yolanda Lewis, who lives a floor above her son's suspected killer. "No one in their right mind is going to kill somebody over a TV."
The Manhattan School for Career Development student was pronounced dead minutes after arriving at Metropolitan Hospital.
Cops were hunting for neighbor Cloves Roche, 26, Wednesday night. Investigators released a picture of the ex-con who was recently released from state prison. Roche just finished a five-year stint for robbery and drug charges, records showed.
Lewis' relatives said Roche pulled out a gun during the brawl, shooting the teen in the leg and stomach. more
