The suspect accused of shooting and killing an 83-year-old man last week in German Township had been "swindling" the victim out of money, according to the Fayette County district attorney.District attorney Michael Aubele briefed reporters Wednesday afternoon at the PSP barracks in Uniontown, hours after he confirmed to Pittsburgh's Action News 4 that a man named Norman Pennington was arrested and charged with homicide in Anthony Dicenzo's death.Aubele said during the investigation, state police learned that Dicenzo had given Pennington $30,000 for a purported real estate investment."Mr. Pennington admitted that he was essentially swindling Mr. Dicenzo out of the money and that Mr. Dicenzo was confronting him about that money," Aubele said.Pennington had no intention of paying Dicenzo back or pursuing a joint business venture, according to Aubele.Dicenzo was last seen alive on Friday, April 12. Police said he left his home in Brownsville around 5 p.m. and did not return. His family reported him missing early Saturday morning. Troopers later found the man dead inside his car, a 2011 white Cadillac STS, on Riffle Hollow Road. An autopsy showed Dicenzo died of two gunshot wounds to the head, the county coroner said Monday.Aubele said Dicenzo owned several rental properties and is well known in the Brownsville community."He's a father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and we're going to do everything that we can to secure justice for the Dicenzo family," he said in an interview earlier this week.A criminal complaint alleged that evidence from Dicenzo's car indicated that "Dicenzo had been pulled from the front driver side seat to the back seat.""Troopers discovered a Disney “Frozen” blanket and garbage bag covering the driver’s seat," Aubele said, "as well as other evidence indicating Mr. Dicenzo had been killed at another location."Pennington's wife told investigators that she was aware her husband owned a Disney "Frozen" blanket at one point, according to the criminal complaint.Cell phone data obtained via search warrants traced Dicenzo's phone to Pennington's property on April 12, and later to Riffle Hollow Road."Eventually, Mr. Pennington confessed to killing Mr. Dicenzo in the vehicle as it was parked in his driveway, then moving the vehicle and body to Riffle Hollow Road," Aubele said.Pennington has a "significant" criminal history, Aubele said, and as a felon, he was not permitted to have a gun at the time of the alleged crime.Aubele said Pennington dumped the gun in Dunlap Creek.
