"We've narrowed the focus of the investigation and are employing surveillance of people of interest," Bucks County Assistant District Attorney Matt Weintraub said Wednesday. "We're confident we're on the right track and that we'll bring the killers to justice."
Relatives and friends are still in shock, frustrated by the lack of an arrest and, seemingly, a motive.
"He didn't have any enemies - this had to be a random act of violence," said Robert Settelen, assistant director of the Bucks County Blues Society, who knew DeGennaro for more than 30 years.
DeGennaro was "a talented musician, an exceptional guy," who should have made it out of the area long ago, Settelen said.
"He played around the country with some heavy hitters, but he was entrenched in the music in this area. He was just as happy playing in front of five people or a thousand."
The guitar player "had skeletons in his closet like a lot of people do in this business," Settelen added, "but that's not what kept him from leaving or got him killed."
DeGennaro was shot at close range with a shotgun in his Crabtree Drive home, said Weintraub, who would not speculate on a possible motive, or whether DeGennaro knew his attacker or had received threats. Many potential suspects have been ruled out, including a tenant who was living in the basement, Weintraub said.
Police are asking anyone with information to report it. Pennsylvania Crime Stoppers is offering a $2,000 reward for information that leads to a conviction, and DeGennaro's relatives and friends are offering a $10,000 reward.
