A Capitol Heights man was arrested and charged with killing his housemate in an argument over food on Saturday.

Travis Everett Hoskins, 19, was arrested in Washington, D.C. and will face a charge of first-degree murder when he is extradited to Prince George’s County, according to the Prince George’s County police department blog.
