The suspect in Wednesday’s (July 17) homicide at Ithaca’s Gun Hill Apartments has been identified as 28-year-old Denzil Dexter Cummings, believed to be a permanent resident of Newark, N.J.

Police say he and his cousin, 24-year-old Kennan Orson Michael Paul, also of Newark, were working construction at the apartments when a personal matter developed into a heated altercation where Cummings ultimately stabbed Paul to death.
