Police now believe an armed robbery over $50 led to the murder of a beloved Gwinnett County bakery owner.
Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson learned that the Lawrenceville Police Chief visited with business owners and employees in the area to reassure them about their safety after this shocking and tragic murder.
Flowers have been laid outside the door of Fejzic Euro Bakery to show some of the love from the community days after a gunman shot and killed the owner.
Ervin Fejzic, 37, died trying to open up his businesses at around 6 a.m. Saturday during what police say was an armed robbery.
“It was very surprising,” said Pixi Ellison, who works from a few doors down from the bakery along Scenic Highway.
She told Johnson that her heart continues to break for the man who ran the family-owned business with his mother.
“They were trying to make an honest living, own a little, small bakery, private owner, small business owner, doing the right thing, so it makes me sad,” Ellison said.
