Former actor Lillo Brancato is scheduled to be released from the Hudson Correctional Facility on New Year’s Eve after serving eight years in prison for his role in an unsuccessful burglary that lead to the death of a New York City police officer.
Brancato, who starred in “A Bronx Tale” and played a mobster on “The Sopranos,” was sentenced in 2009 to 10 years in prison and five years’ probation for his role in a 2005 burglary that lead to the death of off-duty Police officer Daniel Enchautegui .
Brancato says he and friend, Steven Armento, went to the officer’s neighbor’s house looking for drugs.
Daniel Enchautegui was shot when he came over to investigate. He still managed to shoot and wound both men. Brancato had faced murder charges but was only found guilty of attempted burglary.
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president Patrick Lynch vowed in a statement to monitor Brancato’s movements intensely while he’s out on parole.
Steven Armento was convicted of murder and is serving a life sentence.
