The police officer (allegedly) killed by this idiot loved his (alleged) murderer’s best-known film — and in a strange twist, taped the movie to watch later when it aired on cable just a week before his death:

Days before he was shot dead trying to stop a burglary near his home, Officer Daniel Enchautegui asked a relative to record the movie “A Bronx Tale” — the coming-of-age film starring one of the men now charged in his murder.

The eerie twist emerged yesterday as family and friends packed a Bronx funeral home to pay respects to the heroic cop.

According to Charles Spruill, a cop who worked with Enchautegui at the 40th Precinct, “A Bronx Tale,” starring Lillo Brancato, aired on cable TV about a week before the shooting, but Enchautegui wasn’t home to watch it.

“He wanted his nephew to tape the movie because he really liked [it],” Spruill said. “It’s so ironic.”

Brancato, who played a teen torn between his father’s love and a mobster’s loyalty in the 1993 film, was charged with second-degree murder. He and a gun-toting friend were caught by Enchautegui, 28, Saturday morning as they tried to break into a Bronx home, police said.
