Deranged Jared Ravizza is the prime suspect in the murder of his roommate and his dogs, who were found by police on Saturday afternoon as the maniac went on a stabbing spree in Massachusetts.

Connecticut police confirmed that Bruce Feldman, 70, of West Hartford, was found dead Saturday in a Deep River holiday home which he’d recently been sharing with Ravizza.

They also confirmed Ravizza, 26, had been with Feldman earlier that day and found his belongings at the scene. Locals told The Post there had been a commotion Saturday and the police were called, leading them to discover Feldman’s body.

By that time, Ravizza had fled to Massachusetts and was arrested later that day after stabbing four children at a Massachusetts movie theater and two at a McDonald’s.

Cybersecurity consultant Charlie Brashears, 54, lives next door and said: “I asked the cops if we were safe and they said the perpetrator was out of state and had been captured. 

Stabbing suspect Jared Ravizza (right) rented a Connecticut home with Bruce Feldman, 70, who was known for walking around with his poodle, Lily.

“The police asked me to identify the Porsche Macan that was wrecked and yes, it was the car coming and going from here.”

Connecticut police confirmed Tuesday that the Deep River death investigation remains ongoing, with criminal charges against Ravizza pending.

Feldman’s family have been left shocked and devastated by the news of his sudden death.

His ex-wife, Julie Feldman, of West Hartford, choked back tears as she told The Post: “The whole thing’s really shocking … We were together a very, very long time.”

What to know about Massachusetts stabbing spree suspect Jared Ravizza

It is unknown how Bruce Feldman and Ravizza knew each other or came to stay in the house together, where they had been for between two and three weeks, according to locals.

Brashears told The Post Feldman once described himself as Ravizza’s friend and then his father. He added he owned a gray poodle named Lily and another black dog, which he believes Ravizza killed.

“My understanding is he stabbed the dogs to death,” Brashears said.

“Bruce was an odd duck. Jared obviously had a clear [mental health] break.”

Ravizza was arraigned on Tuesday for stabbing four young girls at a movie theater and two employees at a McDonald’s in Massachusetts. AP

Feldman allegedly got into a dispute with two of his neighbors on Saturday when they found him sitting on their porch while one of his dogs ran around their home in Merriwold Lane, Brashears said.

Feldman left after the women threatened to call police on him for trespassing, but officials said their home was then targeted by an unnamed suspect who threw a shovel through their front door window pane at around 3:36 p.m.

Officers investigating the incident were led to Feldman and Ravizza’s home, where they found the grisly scene.

Another neighbor, Joe Ostering, identified Ravizza as the man who threw the shovel at the women’s home, suggesting the incident was the trigger to Saturday’s bloody events.

“I’m not sure if it was before or after he killed Bruce. That’s how it all started,” Ostering told The Post. “Then he left here and went to the movie theater.”

Connecticut police were on the lookout for Ravizza, who would be taken into custody three hours later after allegedly stabbing four girls, between ages 9 and 17, in a Braintree AMC theatre before driving to a McDonald’s in Plymouth and knifing a pair of workers there.

None of the victims had life-threatening injuries, but received medical treatment for them, police said.

Ravizza was arraigned over the stabbing spree on Tuesday morning, but he has yet to be charged with anything in connection to the Connecticut murder.

Officials said the investigation into Feldman’s murder remains ongoing, with any criminal charges still pending as of Tuesday afternoon. Police did not comment on what happened to Feldman’s dogs.

An attorney for Ravizza could not immediately be contacted for comment.
