WHO KILLED FRANCIS? What police are saying about a suspicious death

WPTV is following the latest on the investigation of a mysterious and suspicious death on the Treasure Coast.

Police in Port St. Lucie found Francis Devon Gennace, 67, dead from “obvious signs of violent trauma” in his home Thursday, but investigators said they are still trying to identify who killed him.

Investigators told WPTV reporter Tyler Hatfield on Friday that there were no signs of forced entry at the man’s home located along Southeast Albatross Avenue.

There was yellow tape and police were still at the home Friday gathering evidence more than 24 hours after Gennace body was found.

“I haven’t stopped thinking about it,” a neighbor who did not want to be identified told WPTV.

She said nothing like this has happened in the 10 years she’s lived here.

“It’s something we never expected,” the neighbor said. “It’s very surprising, and we all got to be careful.”
