Man Killed in Argument Over Food in SW Phila.



by KYW’s Al Novack

Police say potato chips were apparently so tasty they were good enough to die for.

Homicide detectives say an argument that evolved around the few remaining potato chips in a bag turned deadly around 4:30am Sunday.

The incident happened in the 5400 block of North Ridgewood Street in Southwest Philadelphia’s "Kingsessing section.”

Two men were arguing over the last few chips remaining in the bag when one man stabbed the 43-year-old victim in the chest.

He was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. Police say the assailant fled with the chips and remains at large.
