In a tragic event that unfolded in Washington Township, New Jersey, 14-year-old Kevin Frazza, a white male, lost his life on July 10, 2006. The quiet suburban community was shaken by the news of what was ultimately determined to be a murder-suicide. Kevin, along with his 20-year-old brother John Frazza, was found shot in his bed in the family's home on Woodfield Road.
The investigation conducted by law enforcement officials concluded that the boys' father, 46-year-old Thomas J. Frazza, was responsible for their deaths. It is believed that Thomas shot both of his sons while they were sleeping before taking his own life. His body was discovered in the basement of the home. Authorities found two firearms at the scene, a 9 mm and a. 357-caliber Magnum. At the time of the incident, Kevin's mother and 19-year-old sister were away in South Jersey.
A concerned relative who was unable to make contact with the family alerted the police, leading to the discovery of the tragic scene.
As Thomas J. Frazza was identified as the perpetrator of the killings and had also died by suicide, there were no further arrests or suspects sought in connection with the deaths of Kevin and John Frazza. The motive behind the father's actions remains unclear. The community mourned the loss of the two young brothers, with many friends and classmates expressing their grief and shock. Funerals were held for both the boys and their father.
