NEW YORK (AP) – A Brooklyn man has been arrested and charged for allegedly strangling his sister because she refused to turn down the volume on her TV, authorities said.

Sherika Goldwire, 28, died Tuesday after she argued with her brother, Ozem, 27, at their home in East New York, the Brooklyn district attorney’s office said Thursday.

Ozem Goldwire was charged with second-degree murder after the medical examiner determined she had been choked, said spokesman Sandy Silverstein.

Ozem Goldwire said he discovered his sister unconscious in bed and called police. But he allegedly later confessed to strangling her, the district attorney’s office said.

Police said Sherika was strangled after she refused to turn down her television and her brother got angry.

“I really don’t believe it. They never fought,” their father, Ellsworth Goldwire, told the New York Post.

“They’ve got separate TVs,” their mother, Essie Goldwire, told the Daily News. “Why would they fight?”
