Tyrone Fleming, an actor in the YouTube crime show "848", was found stabbed to death in his Bronx apartment on University Avenue around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.
When Fleming did not show up at his job at Con Edison, concerned co-workers contacted his family. When his fiancée went to check on him, she found his body blocking the front door, according to CBS New York. The station reported that Fleming had been stabbed in the back.
Police haven't named a suspect, but they do have an unreleased video of a man wearing dark clothes entering the victim's apartment. The suspect may have exited through a window. Police think the victim may have known his killer as there were no signs of forced entry.
“It must be somebody he knew. It has to be somebody he knew for him to open the door because he won’t even open the door if I come up. I’ll have to call him first,” said his sister Tiffany Tucker.
“Who would do this? He didn’t have no problems with nobody. That’s my only brother I have, and they would do something like this to him,” said his sister. “Was it jealousy, envy? What was it? What is the case that y’all have to come and murder my brother?”
Fleming, 40, played Tye Banga on the drama series "848" which reportedly garners nearly 100,000 views per online episode. The show depicts violent storylines, but friends and family say Fleming was not violent in real life but was instead a good man and a hardworking father of two.
“Very friendly, very open. He didn’t care who you were, what kind of lifestyle you had,” said friend Calvin Kennedy. “Very amazing individual. But I know he’s in a better place now.”
