A Jackson Township man accused of fatally stabbing his roommate is facing charges for murder and weapon possession, according to the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

Police say they responded to a home Friday on Maple Street after receiving a call about an unconscious man.

Upon arrival, they found Robert Sunris with a stab wound and observed a knife near his body.

Authorities say his roommate, Louis Gargiso, was arrested at the scene of the incident.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office says Garsigo is awaiting a detention hearing.
