NEW YORK - Police have made an arrest after a man was found dead inside his apartment on the Upper East Side earlier this week.

Investigators say Alex Ray Scott, 24, of Oklahoma is charged with murder and grand larceny.

On Wednesday morning, 64-year-old Kenneth Savinski was found unconscious inside his living room at 120 East 83rd Street with a deep gash on his head.

A friend made the discovery when he went to check on Savinski because he had not heard from him for a few days.

Police say the suspect turned himself in and was in possession of the victim's credit cards.

It's unclear whether the two knew each other.

The motive for the murder is under investigation.
