There is also the alleged 2007 intentional-overdose of Detroit LCN mob solider Carlo Bommarito who was Frank "The Bomb" Bommarito's son. Vito "Billy Jack" Giacalone was heard saying that he was a weak-willed junkie and snitch in the weeks leading up to his death. Great list though @TheMafia

yearh I read about that that. He was a well known junkie that's why I did not put it down so though it is likely that they had him whacked I mean the Detroit mafia Is notouirs for that intention overdoses and heart attacks for less feds attention.
the kid was only 32 sad really.

Frankie is a real gangster 85 and has his own crew that report to him still active but not involved in the mob Jackie shelved him no surprise Jackie never forgives and never forgets he shelved him over some arguments from the 90s that's just Jackie a real bitter man he has changed as he got older he skipped tony gicaclone who died young at 60 in 2010 because of some beef and replaced with joey jack. He had that beef with the bikers at the beginning of the year because he demoted Frankie bomb and his top guy shook down a biker lawyer for 50k if it was not for peter tocco the bikers would have gone nuts and the mob is not what it used to be in Detroit sure they have guys I mean the gicalones and the toccos but things are bad there and losing the general in 2014 he is irreplaceable he would kick up 500k to Jackie at christmans and he was with Jackie active look at the 2006 indicments

Not killing guys is the smartest thing they could have done. All of the bosses are out and about, of the families that matter anyway, and people are still scared enough not to fuck with them, especially the NY families.

true there is still though normally a hit in new York once every couple years some years more than others there was 9 hits in new York between 2005-8 even if there is one murder every year or two it scares people no one wants to be one of the guys on that list.

If anyone knows any other mob connected hits say and I will update this

thanks

Took the words right out of my mouth @TheMafia. The beef with the bikers is still ongoing even now after Frank being shelved. (Heard it wasn't just a demotion) Most likely retired I would think. I have read over the GameTax indictments several times but yes you are correct, losing "The General" was a huge blow to their cash influx.

why have you not included any of these guys they are all mob related



Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis Gambino
John Jarjosa jr
Anthony (the hatchet) Chiaramonti
Jerome (jerry the blade) Bianchette 32 Detroit
Frank Dadabo

I also I believe Meldish was 62 when he was murdered but who really cares about that fuckin guy getting whacked. Jarjosa Jr was into a ton of other shit aside from his father. Was cornered around 8 mile Detroit and had his vehicle blocked in then was pumped full of bullets as he turned around to see who it was if I remember correctly.

Jarjosa yes has ties to some drug gangs but the others are mob related.

Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis was whacked by gambinos the soldier was convicted a couple of months ago who orhcaresered the hit john gurino was the shooter but he was killed in 2008


Anthony (the hatchet) Chiaramonti was killed because he was trying to push in on Chicago outfit gambling terriorty and that he was crazy


Jerome (jerry the blade) Bianchette 32 Detroit
was defo a mob hit everyone knows that the last real mafia murder in Detroit i mean the guy was with tony z and he told Jackie to go fuck him self he was living on borrowed time after that


Frank Dadabo arillota testified about the shooting

When I copied and pasted the list, the top part was accidentally cut off. I fixed it.

does anybody know the reason for Christopher Mignone murder i would be surprised if the persicos ordered there own cousin to get whacked

What the hell is this about?

Ivy, love your posts. This article, as well as the "How do wiseguys fair on the STREETS" has me wondering how at risk a mafiosi's life really is. I believe it was you or PB that said when a made guy is killed, it's front page news, which I do believe. And for that reason they probably don't clip a lot of guys and bring on the unnecessary heat. I remember hearing Joe Pistone saying he needed all these body guards and is watching over his back etc etc... But I don't think he does... However, I do believe he might actually believe he has to. Like all the old mob rats probably are scared for their life. But maybe the idea of it happening to them, rather than the actual chances of it happening to them that scares them into paranoia. Thoughts?

That was the theory floated in the New York Post article on the shooting, ie the Bonannos were making new members without checking with the other families. Never made much sense to me.

And this list doesn't include the Montreal mafia war over the past few years, that list would double.

I'm curious about the Mignone murder too. Heard nothing about it afterwards.

Louie Antonelli was hit by his own guys because they wanted to rob him. Did he have it coming to him for reasons? Or was this just a case of other guys fucking over one of there own for a score?

Antico was upset by Antonelli not kicking back money from jewelry sales at Antico's Staten Island social club so he gave the ok for Antonelli to be robbed.

The story is that the Bonnano family were making too many guys into the family which led to the lucheses shooting him as enzo had only recently been made into the family its up to you how much you believe
I do believe it as the bonnanos were inducting aload of guys around that time and that could have caused tension

i wonder if he was a made guy because if he was and then he got whacked then it had to be sanctioned

that stagno shooting was not a mob hit at all

it has to have had something to do with mob it might have been a personal dispute but i dont believe at all that some civilian is going to shoot a made guy even in todays mafia

He may be saying it could have been a personal beef. There have been a lot of those between mob guys. Not really "mob hits," per se, in terms of family business.

things are still tense def it would be very bad for the mob if it was to kick of because the bikers are fearless and have no fear of mob jack tocco and frankie knew that but jackie he hates the bikers he hated them since the early 90s he fell out with one of them and tried to have him whacked but like i said before jackie is a very bitter man i mean he skipped his own brother tonys funeral who was a smart guy and replaced him ith joey jack who is not mob material billy jack knew that and demoting frankie the bomb was a MAJOR mistake it was just a very spiteful move i mean frankie had been around for decades he was in his 80s and running things and jackie demotes him over some beef from the 80s and 90s he never fogives and never forgets.

After he demoted frankie the bomb and the tension with the bikers was at its height jackie went to frankie asking for his help and frankie told jackie to go fuck himself it was peter tocco who sorted things out peter is a smart guy him and jackie and the general operated one of the biggest books in the city that bust in 2006 saw all three of them busted and peter took his sentence like a man jackie beat the case and the general got a mistrial if my memory is right.

Still jackie has changed a few things and is the boss for all you detroit mob dont exists there is clear evedince jackie holds court everyday with peter, joey jack, big paul and davey donuts.

dave took over frankies old crew but dave is not frankie the bomb thats the problem frankie is irreplaceable still dave is only 56 and in a organziation where most guys go on till there 80s he has a future as does big paul he is 58 and the D`anna brothers are 61 and 58 if they beat this case they will be back. They are already stiring shit though troublemakers them two head of the sicilians which are big in detroit they are dealing with the bikers who are beefing with jackie and they are close with big paulie as well the D`anna brothers want power if they are convicted i bet jackie and peter will take a deep breath.
Tony LaPiana is really an advisor he does not have any guys reporting to him he sold his business for 50mil he does not to be involved in street stuff but even when he was it was all white collar not much bookmaking or loansharking

true that happens alot with these guys because when there is smoke there is fire a bunch of crimanls together even with the rules the mob have are going to fallout and fight

yeah that's wot I meant , there is no way this was a mob hit ( family business , it was either a personal beef or a random shooting , I believe the area where he was shot was a rough area , I defo don't believe it had something to do with a lucchese / bonnanos feud regarding them making guys without circulating names

that was a mob hit, whether they hit the right target is up for debate

they had like 80 detectives working on it when it first happened (the tv news said)

civilians usually don't get shotgunned by masked assailants at like 9am

TM I hardly think if it was a random shooting they would go up and say . By the way before I shoot u to death r u a made guy ? Coz if u r I won't bother

TM u have got it the wrong way round , zizzo and the hatch wee trying to take over the Cicero crew on behalf of there imprisoned boss jimmy Marcelo , sarno was with the same Cicero crew but was in the ferriola/infelice faction , it was an internal war within the Cicero crew for control

The D'Anna's won't beat that case, they're fucked. Davey "Donuts" is not trusted or respected among the Highwaymen MC nearly as much as Frankie The Bomb which is why they have been dealing with the D'Anna's since Frankie's demotion/removal. Motorcycle Mc's in Michigan are eclipsing lcn and will continue to do so.

Rudy izzi the genovese guy that was real quite and the guy who was around Sally dogs beaten to death with his Russian chick them both had to be mafia hits maybe the guy who order them is dead tino and surprised Frank lagano case is dead. With all the informants so guys still do murder successfully.

I think if the guy Rudy was a capo it would have made alot more headlines like a war is coming ect.

your prob right my knowledge on the outfit is not that strong

i dont know i think it was personal mob dispute. Still i dont get why they would randomly shoot him

back in 2001 someone nearly killed rudy but he managed to survie the hit

[quote=Terence]The D'Anna's won't beat that case, they're fucked.

like i said before demoting frankie the bomb was a mistake and dave is in his shadow. D`annas are prob fucked bu you never know with detroit

I came to this thread late and don't know jack about this family.
Are you saying that the Bonnano's were making guys without passing the names around to get the other families ok ?

Then the Lukes knowing this hit or tried to hit the new guy and say we had no clue that he was "made" because you guys never got the ok to make him ?

Serp, that is an NY Post theory with little credibility. I doubt it.

thats what the papers say and i believe it as i think that it is quite likely because the bonnanos were making alot of guys so the lucheses shot him but everyone has there own opion and like most things we wont find out till theres a rat but i believe it

That still is skeptical. Even if they didn't know he was made, they knew who he was. So they would of had to approach the Bonannos about the hit anyways.

I think the story well at least the story the papers told was it was unsanctioned that the lucheses shot him without bonnano permission the whole thing is confusing but it does make sense the lucheses being annoyed about the bonnanos making guy's all over the place

Understood , but is it true (not the shooting) but the fact alone they are making guys at will ?

Thanks

Here is a media link to the Romano hit: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/25/nyregion/25slay.html?_r=0

Amazing that the hit is largely unknown. Goes to show you the staying power of the Genovese. When that Gambino family grandson went on a crack binge in Whitestone a few months ago it was front page news.

To own a 54 apartment building in bk that guy must have been muilty millionaire. Went to a cold case real fast. No one even fought over the money.

Thanks I never even read about this murder thanks did not know it even happened

Out of all those murders listed can any body single out the ones that didn't get solved or, didn't result in a conviction?

Sorry if that's tedious
