LONGWOOD, Bronx (WABC) -- The NYPD released video of a person wanted for questioning in the stabbing of a man found dead in an apartment in the Longwood section of the Bronx.

The man, believed to be in his 60s, was discovered with a stab wound to the chest during a wellness check on Wednesday inside his Longview Avenue apartment.

Neighbors reported a strong odor coming from the unit. A construction worker then entered the apartment and found the victim with a knife in his chest. Detectives believe the man had been dead for at least a week.
