I know he worked as an enforcer as a teen and young man so I was trying to see if anyone knew of events that he had (allegedly) participated in then that would presumably have given him a rep as a brutal tough guy/killer.


Well Gotti wasn't a triggerman type guy. According to some things I have read Gotti didn't carry guns but wanted his guys to keep them close to them. Also when Gotti got made he became a captain pretty much right away so he didnt have to pull the trigger. The McBratney murder he was present at but he didn't actually kill him Ralph Galione did. The Anthony Plate murder gotti was also present at. But I dont know if he actually pulled the trigger since he was with angelo and Willie Boy but he definetly helped get rid of the body. the Favara murder he was in Florida to establish an alibi. So Gotti may have never personally killed anyone.
