Keogh
NEW CITY – A Yonkers man was sentenced in Rockland County Court to 19 years to life in state prison on his August 15, 2017 guilty plea to murder in the killing of a Nanuet man.
This is the second time Frank Keogh, 49, of Yonkers will be serving time for a killing. He was sentenced to eight to 24 years for a fatal stabbing in the Bronx in 1990.
On July 16, 2016 at about 9 p.m., Frank confronted Eric Leopold in the driveway of Leopold’s home at 97 Tennyson Drive in Nanuet. Keogh used a large knife to stab Leopold approximately 14 times in the torso, head and extremities.
The victim was rushed to Nyack Hospital where he died.
Keogh fled but was apprehended at 3:20 a.m. the following day in Orange County.
Clarkstown Police recovered a knife and blood evidence in Keogh’s vehicle where they also found part of a gold necklace that the victim had been wearing at the time of the stabbing.
