Fagan now faces homicide charges after allegedly murdering Gaetano Thomas Oteri on Saturday, April 26, 2008.
Apparently, the two men had been roommates as well as longtime business partners. In a bizarre admission, after Fagan was arrested for DUI, he revealed that he fought with Oteri and used his pocket knife to stab Oteri across the body before fleeing the scene. Oteri’s body was found on Sunday afternoon.
How awful! What could they have been fighting about that would cause him to kill his longtime friend?
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to Cheri Oteri and family during this sad time.
