Norman Richard Pruden, 37, was originally arrested for aggravated assault after an altercation with 41-year-old Ifa Germosa at a Higgins Avenue establishment on Monday night.

When Germosa later died of his injuries in hospital, the charges were upgraded.

Police said they believe the two men — who didn’t know each other — got into a verbal argument, which led to the victim being seriously assaulted with a weapon outside the building.

Pruden was detained in custody.
