The Advocate Messenger reports that Attorney Mark Stanziano, was making his way to his office on West Mount Vernon Street around 8 a.m. Friday when an angry gunman walked up to him and shot him multiple times, killing him in front of a slew of witnesses.
Stanziano represented the preacher charged with the triple murder at Danville’s ABC Gold Games.
The attorney’s wife, Bethany Stanziano is herself a defense attorney who shared a practice with her husband. In a statement Friday she said, “Today I lost my best friend. His four daughters lost their father. Three grandchildren lost their grandfather. Aside from that, the legal community lost a great mentor and a great teacher.
