NJ Man Kills Gas Station Owner Over $3 Lottery Ticket And Energy Drink

It’s a sad day when a man dies over an energy drink and lotto ticket.

Bail was set Sunday at $750,000 for 34-year-old Ronnie Fedo of Lake Hopatcong. He’s also charged with aggravated manslaughter, death by auto, leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and robbery in connection with Saturday afternoon’s incident in Jefferson Township.

Speaking at a news conference Sunday in Morristown, Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said Fedo arrived at the station in a sport utility vehicle around 1:45 p.m. and went into its convenience store. At the time, the station’s owner — 65-year-old Nisan Ambaroglu of Paramus — was working at the gas pumps and no staffers were in the store.

Fedo soon reached over the counter and took the lottery tickets — about $3 to $4 worth — and put them in his pants pocket, Bianchi said. Ambaroglu then entered the store a short time later and Fedo, after making unrelated purchase, left and entered his vehicle.

After realizing what had happened, Ambaroglu ran out and went to the driver’s side window of the SUV in a bid to stop Fedo, who drove off and dragged Ambaroglu through the parking lot and then for about 100 yards on Route 15 South. Ambaroglu then fell from the vehicle and ended up in the roadway as Fedo drove away.

Ambaroglu, who had owned the gas station for about seven years, was taken to Saint Clare’s Hospital in Dover, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. But further details on his injuries and a cause of death have not been disclosed.

Fedo then went to his home in the Lake Hopatcong section of the township, changed his clothes and walked his dog, according to the court document.

According to an affidavit for a search warrant filed in Superior Court, Fedo, 34, told Jefferson police that after he allegedly stole an energy drink and lottery tickets from the Getty, he was confronted by the station’s owner.

A lotto ticket and energy drink, dude? Was it that serious? Clearly, it wasn’t since he returned home and casually changes his clothes and took his dog for a stroll after he killed a man. Unbelievable.
