Police are investigating Monday after a gas station attendant in Verona was shot and killed.
The incident occurred at the Sunoco station on Route 23 and Cambridge Road. Police say when they arrived Sunday after the shooting, Daniel Pritchard, 29, was already dead.
Roman Svetsky, the owner of the gas station across from the Sunoco, says he was surprised by the shooting.
"I was shocked. We never [have] any kind of problem before here ? not at this station," Svetsky says.
Police believe the incident was a robbery attempt, but that has yet to be confirmed. Anyone with information is asked to call Verona police at (973) 239-5000.
