Man shot 19 times in 1995 dies after being shot again

1/31/2004

BOSTON -- A man who survived 19 gunshot wounds in 1995 died Friday after he was shot again multiple times in his pickup truck.

Lenny Isaac, 39, of Dorchester, was found by his sister, who spotted his blue pickup truck near the family's home at about 4:30 p.m. When she stopped, she discovered her brother slumped across the seat.

He had been shot multiple times in the left side of his back and his neck. He was taken to Boston Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

In 1995, two men shot Isaac 19 times, allegedly over a bad debt. He underwent surgery at least eight times.

Richard Frank, the man accused of shooting Isaac in 1995, was acquitted in 1997, even though Isaac knew him and identified him as the shooter. A former data-entry worker, Lenny Isaac had been out of work and on disability since that shooting.

Police had no immediate suspects in Friday's shooting. His killing was the city's fourth homicide of 2004.

Sounds like poor Mr. Frank ran around with the wrong crowd.

Amazing story. If he had survived once more, it seems that he would have eventually died from another set of shootings.
