Adruis Ovalles, 15, Charged with the Murder of Albert Hartzog Over Cable Television Service

Adruis Ovalles, 15, charged with the murder of mother's boyfriend, Albert Matthew Hartzog, over disconnected cable television service.

Adruis Ovalles, 15, has been charged with fatally stabbing his mother's boyfriend, Albert Matthew Hartzog, after he disconnected the family's cable connection. According to 1010WINS, police said the boy stabbed Hartzog three times, despite his mother's pleas for him to stop.

Ovalles was arrested on a murder charge in the death of Hartzog, 26, on Friday at the Sonia Sotomayor Houses in the Bronx. Police say the teen punched his victim repeatedly before stabbing him. The suspect then stood in the doorway of the blood-splattered apartment, waiting to be arrested. There was no phone listing for the family at the address provided by police. It was unclear when Ovalles would be arraigned or if he had an attorney.

I don't understand why so many teenagers are prone to violence. This was a reprehensible act and I hope the prosecutor will try him as an adult. There is no justification for what Adruis Ovalles did to Albert Hartzog. Over cable television? This is a travesty.
