A dispute that began inside a Bronx restaurant ended in a fatal shooting on a University Avenue block. Twenty-four-year-old Roderick Romney argued with 29-year-old Jason Delgado at El Mangu Sabroso on West Kingsbridge Road; the argument continued outside. Delgado reportedly went to a nearby apartment, returned armed with a .38-caliber revolver, and at about 4:58 a.m. in front of 2766 University Avenue fired one shot that struck Romney in the throat. Romney was taken to St. Barnabas Hospital and pronounced dead at 7:30 a.m.

A witness identified Delgado, who was arrested near the scene. Police say they recovered the revolver under a parked car nearby. Delgado was charged with second-degree murder, first-degree manslaughter, and criminal possession of a weapon after a nearly 13-hour interview at the 50th Precinct. Neighbors said Romney and Delgado had been friends; Romney had lived in the building with his parents for more than two decades. Does anyone have information about Romney’s last movements or about the relationship between the two men?
