Police allege that the prime suspect in the heinous murder of a 60-year-old Harlem man, shot to death 11 times at his home last month, had been providing care
for the victim before getting into an argument with him over suspected drug use, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.
Authorities say the victim was shot some 11 times — including twice in the head, once in the neck, five times in the back, twice in the chest, and once in the arm. Police officials report that Fulford once served as his victim’s caregiver for about half a decade after Swinton served as a mentor to him following their meeting at a local Boys and Girls club.
“They had a falling out over his drug use. Joseph went down to Georgia for a couple of years and had recently returned to the neighborhood,” Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. “He asked him to leave and then he moved to Georgia for a couple of years and then came back.”
