Video After The Jump
LAUDERDALE LAKES, Fla. (WSVN) -- Police have arrested a man for allegedly beating an elderly man to death at a gas station.
Jonathas Carasco, 67, lost his life after pulling up to a pump at the BP Gas Station located at 3990 W. Oakland Park Boulevard, Friday afternoon, at about 4:45 p.m. The cause of his death came in the form of an irate customer who apparently wanted to use the same pump.
Carasco, who had diabetes, pulled into a pump unaware that another man had been waiting for it. Surveillance video showed Carasco exiting the station's shop, as the other man ran up to him, punches him and knocks him to the ground. Carasco hit his head on the concrete. He would die 24 hours later.
Police would later arrest 21-year-old Ryan Wilson for dealing the fatal blow. He is being held without bond, charged with aggravated manslaughter.
"My father is such a good guy," said Fabienne Carasco, the victim's daughter, through tears. She added that he was "not at all" aggressive.
Arias Carasco, the victim's son, said he cannot understand why such a young man would pound on his elderly father. "If that was me, even when an old man would hit me, I would not hit back," he said. "I respect, I would never, never hit that person."
Deputies found the suspect after a witness wrote down the car's license tag number.
