Frank David Finocchio Jr., a 46-year-old resident of Redondo Beach, California, tragically lost his life on May 27, 2018. According to the Los Angeles County coroner’s records, Frank was fatally shot at his home on Fisk Lane. The incident occurred during a heated dispute with his 19-year-old son, Vincent Maxwell Finocchio. The argument escalated, leading Vincent to shoot his father. Following the shooting, Vincent called 911 and reported the incident. Frank was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:12 p.m.
Vincent Finocchio was arrested that evening at their home and subsequently charged with murder and allegations of using a shotgun in the killing. He was held in lieu of $3-million bail. The case drew significant attention, and Vincent's arraignment was initially scheduled for June 29, 2018. The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office provided updates on the case, highlighting the severity of the charges against Vincent.
In a turn of events, Vincent Maxwell Finocchio later pleaded no contest to one count of voluntary manslaughter and admitted to using a shotgun in the killing of his father. This plea was part of a deal with prosecutors, which resulted in a reduced charge from murder to voluntary manslaughter. On September 9, 2019, Vincent was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the crime. The court proceedings revealed that the argument between Frank and Vincent was reportedly about Vincent's girlfriend, which led to the tragic outcome.
Frank Finocchio was a well-respected individual in his community and held the position of vice president of operations for Frame, a residential development company based in Culver City. He had previously worked with notable companies such as PVH Corporation, Beats by Dr. Dre, and Crayola. Frank was remembered by neighbors and friends as a caring and kind person who often looked out for those around him. His death left a significant impact on his family and the community, who mourned the loss of a beloved husband, father, and friend.
