Dan Serafini, a former professional baseball player, was convicted of first-degree murder and attempted murder for the June 2021 shooting of his in-laws in Lake Tahoe. During the incident, he killed his father-in-law and severely injured his mother-in-law, who later died from her injuries. Serafini was also found guilty of first-degree burglary. Financial difficulties and a deep-seated hatred for his wealthy in-laws appeared to have motivated the crime. He faces a potential life sentence without parole, with sentencing scheduled for August 18.
