Murder is murder. Other than demonstrable self-defense, murder is a function of avarice. Since Mafiosi allow their avarice free reign, it's not surprising that they murder at will, even rationalize it. It's the lack of that state of mind the precludes most of us from murdering. So, yes, I would have let Carlo live.
