A landlord-tenant dispute may have been to blame for an East New York shooting murder, according to the local ABC News affiliate station. The homicide, which took place shortly after midnight today, may have been the result of the victim’s non-payment of her rent, police say. The victim’s landlord is being questioned by police. Although it’s unclear how behind the victim, a tenant in a Linwood Street apartment building, was in her rent, early reports suggest that she had not paid for some time. The landlord was not questioned but rather was held as a person of interest. [WABC]
