Recent whacking in the families outside NY

Does anyone know if there have been recent killings linked to the mafia in smaller families outside NY ?

Gino dipetro who was allegedly killed by philly soldier anthony nicodemo last year.

This is a list from Ivyleague from another thread:

In Philadelphia, associate Johnny "Gongs" Casasanto in 2003, soldier Raymond "Long John" Martorano in 2002, captain Ronnie Turchi killed in 1999, captain Joseph Sodano killed in 1996. Also a few other associates, like Anthony Turra, Gino Marconi, and Adam Finelli, killed in the late 1990's/early 2000's.

In New Jersey, DeCavalcante associate Joseph "Joey O" Masella killed in 1998.

In Chicago there Anthony "Little Tony" Zizzo disappeared in 2006, Anthony "Tony the Hatch" Chiaramonti was killed in 2001, and associate Ronnie Jarrett was shot in 1999 (later dying in 2000).

In Buffalo/Rochester, associate Anthony Vaccaro killed in 2000, soldier Carmen Barillaro killed in 1997, and captain Johnny "Pops" Papalia killed in 1997.

In Pittsburgh, associate Ernest Biondillo killed in 1996.

In Detroit, associate Gerry "The Blade" Bianchette killed in 2002 and associate John Jarjosa Jr. killed in 2001.

Why were the detroit guys killed? Was it a family hit? And what about papalia?he was killed by some canadian guys right? Thats alot of guys killed in philly.how many have been solved there? And there is no murders listed from boston/prov. Theres been deaths there that were o.c related

I'm not sure the reasons for the murders of John Jarjosa or Gerard Bianchette. Jarjosa was involved in a car chase with his killers. At one point, they boxed him in, went up to his car and shot him several times.

New England murders have included Paul Maiorano in 2000, Leonard Rosenberg and Peter DeVito in 2001, Mark Eldridge in 2002, and Patrick Squillante in 2004. I may be missing some others.

Never heard of Paul Maiorano, what can you tell me about that?

Fat Herbie Blitzstien was killed by members of the Los Angeles LCN Family in 1997. During there's push into the Vegas rackets

Don't know why he was murdered, or much about Maiorano himself other than him being an armed robber. The murder may or may not have been directly mob related. If you look at the murders or woundings of mob members and associates in recent years, more than a few of them involve personal beefs and not so much mob business.

Western mass capo al bruno and one of his goffers who was a mass state police informant guys name was westerman I think. Southend was gary westerman a bad mofo he was banging anthony a wifes lil sister there was a 30 age difference, he was close to bruno, nother nail in his coffin. He was buried in a hole dug for another genovese rat felix t but bruno changed his mind or maybe never got the ok from ny to kil a made guy in his crew. That turn out to be a real cluster fuck. The springfield crew was a strong crew for the genovese since the 50tys.

Ernest "Ernie B" Biondillo was an associate of Pittsburgh, but was from Youngstown and was the right hand man of Joey Naples. Shot to death June 3rd, 1996 on Murdock Street.

Also, in March of 1996, a guy by the name of Lawrence "Larry Boy" Sisman was murdered by convicted hitman Mark Batcho. Larry Boy Sisman was Ernie Biondillo's partner in his strip club, The Palace in the Pines located on the Ohio/Pennsylvania border. Batcho took $3000 cash out of his pocket after he shot him.

Westerman wasn't Bruno's gofer and I believe he wasn't even around Bruno far as I know, just the Geas'/Arillotta and yeah he was married to Anthony's sister in law, whom Anthony had also fucked behind his wifes back (nice sister). True story though how Arillotta and them buried Gary Westerman in a hole that was originally dug for Tranghese lol. Westerman was under the impression he was going to do a home invasion with the Geas brothers so he came with a taser, ski mask/gloves which they threw in the hole with him.
