According to Harold Konigsberg, a mob hitman who turned informant in the 1960s, Dom DeQuarto sanctioned (together with others) the John Joseph Scanlon murder in 1958.
And in the Johnny Earle killing, DeQuatro provided the gun that was used.
DeQuatro was also involved in the Tony Bender killing. On the night of this murder, Giuseppe "Pepe" Sabato called Tony Bender and drove him to a parking lot in Fort Lee, NJ where Tommy Ryan and DeQuatro were waiting.
They killed Bender and drove away with the body to be buried in an upstate farm.

If you are interested in reading the FBI document dealing with Konigsberg, tune into the Mary Ferrell Foundation site and type 124-10348-10067 into the RIF SEARCH field.

Originally, when Tony Bender in 1958 was made the acting boss of the Genoveses, it seems that DeQuatro functioned as the acting capo of Bender´s crew.
But for some reasons unknown, he was later outmaneuvered by Tommy Ryan and his brother Patsy who took control of this crew.
This crew was later headed by Vinny Gigante.

DeQuatro was born in 1922 and I read somewhere that he operated out of a Social Club located in the SoHo section of Manhattan, just south of Greenwich Village.
I also read that he was killed sometime in the 1970s but I can´t find any article or document confirming this.
I suspect his body was never found.

He died in a Hospital in New Jersey in 1988
