Former Saturday Night Live star Cheri Oteri’s father Gaetano Thomas (Tom) Oteri was stabbed to death Saturday night in Nashville, Tennessee.

Authorities have arrested and charged country songwriter Richard Fagan, 61, with criminal homicide in the death of Gaetano Thomas Oteri, 69, the Associated Press reports.

Oteri, known as “Tom,” was Fagan’s roommate as well as his longtime music associate and publisher. According to the local NewsChannel 5, the incident took place at Fagan’s home in South Nashville on Saturday night.

Sadly this entire story sounds like a sad Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard song.
