Car Dealer Killed Employees Who Asked For Raise

[matcom]

<snip>

The boss gave them each a bullet to the head, police said.

Fed up with the two workers' frequent salary demands, owner Rolandas Milinavicius — who was in dire financial straits — apparently snapped Thursday morning and allegedly shot both of them to death inside the business.

Rolandas Milinavicius, 38, owner of RM Auto International in East Point,turned himself in and confessed to killing his employees, Martynas Simokaitis and Inga Contreras. All are from Lithuania.

Martynas Simokaitis, 28, was one of two people shot to death July 26 at an East Point auto dealership. He moonlighted as a staff photographer for Lunar, a magazine about metro Atlanta's electronic dance music culture.

"He told us that he was under a lot of stress," said East Point police Capt. Russell Popham. "Unfortunately, he decided to take his anger out with violence."

Milinavicius, 38, of Alpharetta started RM Auto International on Willingham Drive two years ago amid great hopes that he could feed the demands for American cars in his native Lithuania. He began shipping cars through ports in Charleston, S.C., and elsewhere, and at some point hired the two victims – fellow immigrants from his north European country – as his only employees.

Little is known about the first victim, Inga Contreras, 25. She lived in Atlanta but did not have any other family members in the state.

The second, Martynas Simokaitis, 28, moonlighted at night as a staff photographer for Lunar, a magazine about metro Atlanta's electronic dance music culture. He had been in Atlanta only a few years, and was working toward a career in his chosen field: music.

7. How to take this?

Marxist: "This is so typical an expression of bosshood it hardly stands out from the pack. GENERAL STRIKE NOW!"

Libertarian: "He can run his business the way he wants. If people don't want to be murdered, they have the freedom to work for other car dealers."

Republican: "Simokaitis? Contreras? Sounds foreign. Are we sure they even had rights?"

Capo de tutti capo: "Only one bullet to each of their heads? This gentleman's work is not very thorough."

Local news: "How buying an imported vehicle can KILL YOU! But first, here's Wendy with today's 'Thumbs Up, Atlanta!'"

Lithuania: "America send man to jail for this?"

Unemployed salesman: "Oh boy, TWO openings at a car dealership!"
