Fruhrman made off with about $195 from the cash register. Shortly after the robbery Gilberts body was discovered by a trucker, Calmer Kjono. Upon approaching the station, Mr. Kjono had noticed a young man leave the station and get into a Cadillac automobile parked nearby. Mr. Kjono's approached the car, and as he reached for the door a shot rang out and Mr. Kjono was wounded in the left hand. Mr. Fruhrman then sped off in the car, shooting at Mr. Kjono as he drove away.
