Billy Veasey was killed because it was a brother for a brother. I doubt they cared if he was involved in LCN or not.
Vegas can you expand on that. This NY Times article reports that:
"Police officials said the killing appeared to be retaliation for John Veasey's defection and a blatant effort to intimidate him as a witness.
"That's the motive we are looking at," said Capt. John C. Apeldorn, the head of the Organized Crime and Intelligence Unit at the Philadelphia Police Department. "It was a mob hit of one brother on the very morning the other brother is scheduled to testify."
