The man found dead and tied up in his Manhattan home Monday was a long-time volunteer who worked with underprivileged kids.

The nonprofit All Stars Project said Charles Romo, 48, was a volunteer theater manager.

He was found dead Monday morning inside his Hamilton Heights apartment.

So far, no arrests have been made.
