The movie gave him his break into film.

Officer Dies Interrupting Burglary Near Bronx Home; Actor Is Held
By ROBERT D. McFADDEN
A police officer trying to stop a burglary in a neighbor's home was fatally wounded in a gun battle in the Bronx early yesterday, but continued to return fire and wounded two suspects who were captured by arriving officers as they stumbled away bleeding, the police said.
The slain officer, Daniel Enchautegui, 28, was the second city police officer to die in the line of duty this year. As with the first, less than two weeks ago, the police said he had stayed in the fight despite a mortal wound near his heart, to aid in the capture of his assailants.
The suspects - Steven Armento, 48, a burglar with three convictions and a history of violence, and Lillo Brancato Jr., 29, an actor who has appeared in "The Sopranos" and in "A Bronx Tale" with Robert De Niro and a dozen later films - were felled by multiple wounds, in a gunfight that shattered the peace of a residential street before dawn...

Maybe he was preparing for a new role and took his method acting a little too far.

The movie would have probably ended with him dying anyway.

He's being charged with murder. What a waste of talent.

I think they were killed because the article says the suspects were "felled"
