Investigators were able to piece together Wallace’s actions that evening, which including going over to Casey’s house and using his porch to remove a screen from one of the windows.

During a heated altercation, Casey pulled out a military-style knife and stabbed Wallace twice. It was unclear how Casey received his wound. Police discovered the knife at the crime scene.

It was also discovered that the neighbours had an ongoing feud over Casey’s loud snoring, which could be heard via a wall shared by their connected dwellings.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele stated that Casey was arrested on Thursday, January 20, and charged with Third-Degree Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter, and Possession of an Instrument of Crime. Casey is still in detention and being held on $1 million cash bail.
