A Cape Coral man was charged with homicide after officers responding to an early morning call reporting a slaying found the man’s roommate stabbed to death inside the home they shared.

Cullen Scott Roe, 24, of 1141 Van Loon Commons Circle # 103, surrendered without incident to the officers answering the 2:21 a.m. call.

Those officers found Roe’s roommate, Kody Scott Detling, 25, “deceased as a result of knife wounds,” police reported.

“The Cape Coral Police Major Crimes Unit arrested Roe for 2nd Degree Murder,” a release from the CCPD states.

He was later transferred to the Lee County Jail.
