Father of Four Shot at Gas Station | Charlotte News
Description
A father of four, Ronald David Rumley Junior, was fatally shot during a botched robbery at a Loves Travel Plaza in Newton — the gunman, Jontavius Littlejohn, allegedly forced his way into the car with intent to rob him. Chaos erupted when another person tried to pull a woman from the vehicle, triggering gunfire that left Mr. Rumley critically wounded; he crashed into a utility pole and later died. His infant passenger escaped unharmed. Littlejohn, now indicted for felony first-degree murder, was arrested in South Carolina and returned to North Carolina — charges for assault and firearm offenses were dropped. A judge denied him bond citing public safety, gang ties, and the severity of the crime. The case remains open as authorities hunt for the second suspect and investigate why Mr. Rumley agreed to meet them.
