An 87-year-old man from Maryland, Irwin Joseph Dickstein, has been charged with two counts of murder—first-degree and second-degree—following the death of his 63-year-old roommate, Michael Roy Bushnell. According to the Frederick Police Department, Dickstein allegedly confessed to a witness about the shooting and indicated where it occurred. Authorities conducted a welfare check at Dickstein’s home in Frederick, a city about 50 miles north of Baltimore, and discovered Bushnell’s body. The incident is under active investigation, with police continuing to gather details. Court documents obtained by Fox 5 DC revealed that the shooting occurred on Sunday, September 20, following an argument between Dickstein and Bushnell. Neighbors told the news outlet that Bushnell had reportedly become upset after Dickstein turned off the electricity in their home while attempting to fix an outlet. Additionally, an associate pastor at the Frederick Christian Fellowship informed the sheriff’s office that one of his congregants had confessed to the killing, according to charging documents from The Frederick News-Post. Separately, the sheriff’s office spoke with a man who had driven Dickstein to the church. The man said that Dickstein had placed an item in his car trunk, and police later found a handgun inside a case in the vehicle. Dickstein was arrested without incident and taken to the Frederick County Adult Detention Center, where he later appeared before a District Court commissioner. Paula Brooks, an attorney from the Frederick County Public Defender’s Office, requested that Dickstein undergo a competency evaluation during a bail hearing, as reported by The Frederick News-Post. A judge ruled that Dickstein would be held without bail until a competency hearing is conducted. A spokesperson for the Frederick County State’s Attorney’s Office, Jacqueline Rottman, said that if Dickstein is found competent to stand trial, he will be eligible for a new bail review. However, she emphasized that regardless of the outcome, the office would seek to have him held due to concerns about his potential danger to the community. The Independent has reached out to Rottman and the Frederick Christian Fellowship for additional comments.
