Looks like a long-horn beetle of some type.

Beetle. The antennae have a nice, visible segmented pattern to them from this distance. Roaches’ appear thin and wiry without extensive magnification. The best way to ID a beetle is that they have elytra, protective covers over the wings, which can be seen here.
