Degree Murder, committed on 11/27/87. On 11/27/87, Anthony Ponticelli arrived at Keith Dotson’s house around 6:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. Ponticelli stayed for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Around 7:30 p.m., Ponticelli was seen at Ralph and Nick Grandinetti’s house. Timothy Keese, the Grandinetti’s roommate, heard the three discussing money that Ponticelli owed the two brothers for cocaine. Ponticelli told the two that he would sell the cocaine that they currently had and then settle up with them in regard to the money that he owed them. The two brothers agreed to take Ponticelli to sell the cocaine. The three left the house. Keese left the house and when he returned neither of the Grandetti brothers was there.
