Abuja (Sundiata Post) – A Brooklyn man has been charged with killing a sex offender in a fight over drugs and keeping his severed head in a freezer for two years.
Nicolas McGee, 45, was extradited to New York this week from Chesapeake, Virginia, where he was being held in an identity fraud case, according to Nypost.
On Friday, April 12, he appeared at the NYPD’s 67th Precinct, where he was charged with murder, robbery, concealment of a human corpse, and tampering with physical evidence in connection with the death of 40-year-old Kawsheen Gelzer.
The investigation was launched in January when local drug dealer Gelzer’s severed head and body parts were found stashed in a freezer inside a Nostrand Avenue apartment, police said.
McGee’s wife, 45-year-old Heather Stines, was living in the apartment at the time of the gory find.
She claimed to police that McGee killed Gelzer in September when the two got into a fight over drugs, and then dismembered him and stashed his body parts, law enforcement sources said.
McGee admitted that he “just snapped” and killed Gelzer on March 22, 2022, 17 months earlier than cops originally believed.
During the hour-long interrogation, McGee said that Gelzer simply asked “why” during his last moments, sources said.
“Because you’re a piece of s–t! And I’m sick of you!” was McGee’s response, according to the sources.
McGee allegedly told the cops he was upset with Gelzer for not being generous with the drug stash after the couple allowed him to stay on their couch, he allegedly told the cops.
Gelzer, who had been on the state sex offender registry since he was convicted of molesting a 12-year-old boy in 2005, was also rude to his hosts, McGee alleged, according to the sources.
