#Massachusetts dad allegedly killed by homeless man at Florida hotel

A Massachusetts father was stomped and stabbed to death at a Florida hotel by a homeless man — whose months-long stay at the inn was paid for by a neighboring city amid the coronavirus crisis.

Charles Morgan, 59, of Martha’s Vineyard, stopped at the Rodeway Inn & Suites in Dania Beach while on his way to visit relatives on Aug. 1 when convicted killer Alphonso Washington, 59, allegedly struck, according to the Vineyard Gazette.

“I am beyond belief,” Morgan’s wife, Jackie Flynn-Morgan, told the local paper. “We are just overwhelmed.”

When cops found Morgan on lying on the bathroom floor the next day, his larynx was crushed so badly it had likely been caused by the killer “stomping on a person’s throat,” according to a police report cited by the Sun-Sentinel.

He also suffered neck wounds from a “sharp-edged instrument,” and was pronounced dead a the scene, police said.

Washington, who was later charged with murder, had been staying at the hotel for two months as part of a program by the city of Fort Lauderdale to help homeless people escape the coronavirus, according to the paper.

The ex-con — who was convicted of killing a young woman in Homestead, Fla., in 1985, — had been using the inn as a semi-permanent residence, and having his mail delivered there.

Video footage from the morning of Aug. 2 allegedly shows Washington arguing with Morgan, who was sitting outside his room on a chair, according to the report.

Police believe Washington later followed him into the room and murdered him.

Morgan, who went by the nickname Charlie, had been married to Flynn-Morgan for 22 years. He also had a 19-year-old daughter, Mary.

Washington has denied killing Morgan.
