Anthony P. Tony DiCenzo Sr., 83, was found dead on April 12, 2024, in his white Cadillac on Riffle Hollow Road in German Township. His body was discovered covered with a tarp in the backseat; an autopsy found two gunshot wounds to the head.

Authorities arrested 65-year-old Norman F. Pennington, a longtime acquaintance who had been involved with DiCenzo in a proposed bar purchase. DiCenzo had reportedly given Pennington $30,000 for the venture and had recently told his wife he wanted the money back if the deal did not move forward. Pennington confessed to the shooting, said it was in self-defense, and told investigators he discarded the firearm in Dunlap Creek. A Disney Frozen blanket found in the vehicle was connected to Pennington, and records show he has prior felony convictions that barred him from possessing a firearm.

Pennington was charged with criminal homicide and held without bail, with a preliminary hearing set for April 29, 2024. Does anyone have information about DiCenzo, the business deal, or events leading up to April 12?
