"On March 7, 2023, a fight ignited after a guest of Ag's drank some of Chappelle's Dr. Pepper from the fridge. When Chappelle got home, he was angry about the stolen soda and began banging on Ag's door. The two fought over their past disputes, eventually becoming physical, and just after 10:30 p.m., Chappelle shot 39-year-old Ag twice, in the shoulder and the torso."
"Chappelle was on the lam for six months and traveled to at least five other states before he was cuffed on Sept. 5, 2023, entering Port Authority by bus. Officials say he tried to sell the murder weapon in Philadelphia in the meantime, and also used different phones, changed his email address and wiped his phone."
"Emergency responders rushed Ag to Harlem Hospital but he couldn't be saved; the city medical examiner determined the bullets pierced his lung and aorta and killed him, the New York Daily News reported."
Marquis Chappelle, 52, was convicted of second-degree murder and second-degree weapon possession for shooting his roommate Ousmane Ag on March 7, 2023, in their West 152nd Street apartment. The shooting occurred after Ag's guest drank Chappelle's Dr. Pepper, escalating tensions between roommates who frequently argued over money and shared living space. During their physical altercation, Chappelle fired three shots, striking Ag twice in the shoulder and torso, with a third bullet penetrating the apartment wall. Ag died from injuries to his lung and aorta. Chappelle fled and evaded capture for six months across five states, attempting to sell the weapon in Philadelphia and using various communication methods to avoid detection. He was apprehended on September 5, 2023, at Port Authority.
