Bryant Marquez, a 22-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico, has been charged with first-degree murder for the killing of his roommate.
An undocumented immigrant living in Florida has allegedly confessed to murdering his roommate over a plate of food that was thrown to the floor, and then partially burying the victim in a yard, police said.
Bryan Marquez, 22, was charged with first-degree murder Wednesday, two days after police acting on a tip arrived at a property in Fort Pierce where the suspect had been renting a shed, and spotted a human foot sticking out of the ground in the yard.
The Fort Pierce Police Department stated in an arrest affidavit obtained by The Post that the responding officers observed a makeshift grave about 18 inches deep that contained the body of a man between the ages of 35 and 45.
Investigators collected samples of blood that were found in the yard, along with rocks, gloves, plywood, shovels and a blanket.
