It was later found via wiretap that this was not supposed to be a hit, but a simple burglary. The Colombos wanted the files on their associate AJ D'Amico to see if he was seeking a deal since he was implicated in the Grillo hit. Dequino was just in the wrong place at the wrong time
No problem...more to come on the Colombo-Buffalo war when I have a chance.
Been there and done it I am very much for real, so if you ask, make sure you really want to know.
