Providence murder- potential mob hit

Napoleon Andrade, finishing sentence for robbing Gambino associate. Apparently Eddie Lato in same halfway house

Some guy on here posts sometimes think he said the napoleon guy is his brother. Some guy that robbed that old gambino guy meli down in ct. Tide him up took 250k

Wow. Thanks for the news.

So gambinos whacked him?

These guys better start calling shots because at 45 @ 55 the judges are handing out 20 or 25 year sentences for racketeering ect. so they better try to get the upper hand in these families or they are going to continue to have rats not just sniching but actually working “ for the government some of these guys are doing it making some cash then going to hide somewhere in America let alone if the scum gets away with a armed robbery of a known five families.

Hard to say. This seems like a guy who could have had many enemies across many organizations.

pmac your memory is good man i remember that poster as well. i also remember in that thread PB mentioned that melia had ties to canada and may have been made with the calabrians. maybe they're the ones who did this. but if you do a lifetime of dirt like this guy did i guess it could have come from anybody who held a grudge.

The guy who got robbed Melia also has ties to 'ndrangheta.

I read somewhere him and his brother were tied to Canada. And Melia did debt collections for Megale, is that true?

yaeh the guy would claim he was his half brother. they guy new all types of shit. like he was a bouncer at one of the strip clubs run by the mob in providence. he new the in n outs of the whole robbery and case. he said the one of the mob guys came up with the plan to rob the old guy melia.

melia brother was in ndrangheta cell it was spread out around down in ct up to cananda. they were into cocaine an herion trafficking back 70ty 80tys. is melia still locked up? he got 5yrs a few back and his son

Nope. Is went out in 2015.

The wolf lose the Fur but not the vice.

Stamford Man With Mob Connections Indicted for Extortion

Nicola "Nick" Melia is facing five counts of collecting extensions of credit by extortionate meansBy Chandra Johnson Greene

     

A New Haven federal grand jury has indicted Nicola Melia, 78, of Brushwood Road, Stamford, with five counts of collecting extensions of credit by extortionate means.

Melia, who was on March 23 after an investigation by the and the FBI, made “street loans” to an individual in Fairfield County at high interest rates, according to the allegations set forth in the indictment and statements previously made in court.

On five separate occasions between November 14, 2010, and January 30, 2011, according to a press release from David B. Fein, U.S. Attorney for the District of Connecticut, Melia threatened this individual that he/she would be subject to violence if these debts were not paid.

If convicted, Melia, who has well-known connections to the Stamford Gambino crime family, faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years and a fine up to $250,000, on each count.

Melia's son Philip was also arrested on March 23 for on assault charges following an incident that occurred last April.

Don't have access to Twitter in work but apparently the retired State Police mob investigator, Steven O'Donnell think this isn't a coincidence that Andrade and Lato were in the same halfway house (Lato no longer there) and may be the first RI mob hit in decades.

Damn, I remember a poster on here who said he was his brother. Andrade was rumored to be a tough and reasonably feared street guy in RI.
"If" this is a mob hit, it means that they're still making statements and setting examples.

I don't think its a coincidence either. I think if anything he'd be trying to up Prov's relationship with a NY family considering how weak their wing of the family is right now.

Making a ton of assumptions way too early here, but if this is a favor to Gambino's/NY, would the Cheeseman have to give the go ahead? I don't remember him being involved in any hits on any level.

Oh its a complete shot in the dark. But if this was a mob hit, esp as retaliation, someone had to give the OK since it was technically on his turf.

im gonna assume this guys been robbing dudes around new england since high school. probaly some younger guy who he strong armed his quarter pound of brick weed 15 yrs ago finaly settle the score. sucks for lato he probaly didnt have a thing to do with it but just the lcn connection he gets lugged back behind the wall and will have to wait for another halfway house bed to open somewhere else i think theres 1 in springfield and 1 in chelsea ma area. this nfl free agency day is crazy today. come for the king ya best not miss. omar/patriots

He was also a mixed martial artist?

He had one or two MMA fights. Very well known reputation on the street for being both a legitimate tough guy with his hands and a stone killer. He dropped bodies, roughed people up, collected, etc. Almost 0% chance this has anything to do with LCN. My guess is someone from the street taking revenge for any number of reasons. He was in the crack game back in the day too. Live by the sword....

Joe Deluca relocated after Andrade hit. I seriously doubt that there is anything to this.

"Sources say Joseph DeLuca, 79, of North Providence, was moved to an undisclosed location out of an abundance of caution, amid concerns that there would be a flare-up of violence in the underworld."

"As Target 12 previously reported, detectives are looking to see whether Andrade was killed in retribution for a 2010 home invasion during which he tied up an associate of New York's infamous Gambino crime family."

Yea that was my brother.....

sorry about your loss did they ever figure out who did this?

Thanks.....and we know what happened and who is responsible.

Very sorry for your loss. I'm as guilty as anyone discussing these things. Have to remember that victims have family's that suffer.

Its all good at least your not a coward like that bostongeorge guy who post on here.

You said this in another thread. Did the mafia kill him or was it someone else?

dixie lol with the hard hitting question......put him on the spot

You guys give the mob too much credit on here.....they are not even a factor in the streets no more (at least in rhode island)

This isnt the 1960’s and raymond patriarca or nicky bianco are long gone

Theres only a few from the patriarca family that we respect now.....but the rest are all wannabes and washed up

When louie manocchio was locked up in the wyatt federal holding guess who he asked for protection....nappy and this is long after everyone knew about the CT take down of melia

how do you know it? it seems just bullshit to me because in that prisons italians usually stay with other italians/ whites who are in big numbers in northeastern prisons and they needn't any protection from blacks or latins

Im mean if baby shacks is like 90 yrs old in a prison and knows a black guy that works at one of those clubs he bounced at i dont see a big deal. If shacks was like 50 60even its a bad look asking for protection. Whatever neither here nor there. Wasnt it some mafia associates from providence that put him on to the score of robbing the old guys house for 250k or whatever. I mean thats a score and only old mafia bookies or drug dealers keeping money like that under your mattress. Anyway from what im taking away from the post above it was a street thing. Very brazen. Someone planned it out. Dont think theres tons of cops working on a sunday morning in pawtucket.

I know it for a fact, and you clearly dont know who nappy was to be saying its bullshit....he handled alot of buisness for louie when he was out in the streets. And just because nappy wasnt italian doesnt mean its bullshit. Ask about him..and like I said before this isnt the 1960’s.

Louie used him for muscle before so it was only natural that he protected manocchio while they were in prison. And that score in connecticut was just one of plenty that he took down with the italians

yeah lol

Yea

I'm curious to know who you guys respect......and you're right, RI isn't what it used to be. That's why Boston holds the reins now. But the fact is Italians in RI aren't grooming their sons to become made guys anymore unlike NY/NJ/Philly. IMO the younger generation smartened up. RI is too much of a close knit gossip column and everyone knows everything about everything. If they still were, there would be no questions their organization would still hold power over everyone in the state.

Yeah but at the end the Patriarcas killed Andraste because robber the Gambino associate?

St. Laurent Jr.....matty guglielmetti to name a few

St Laurent Jr? I wasn't expecting that. Can I ask why? And Him over Lato?

it doesn't seem far fetched, especially if they had a relationship out on the street where he was acting as muscle for them.

i can believe nappy go spontaneously to him but not manocchio asking him protection

no offense but that sounds a lot more ridiculous man, no way a stranger is gonna walk up to a boss and just be accepted. they clearly had a history.

if you had a real tough guy like this napoleon, that had already worked for you on the street and has proven himself, why wouldn't you take him as a bodyguard? this guy was big as hell and knew how to use his hands. this isn't the first time guys have used a non-italian as an enforcer, i don't see why it's so hard to believe.

i mean he knew manocchio before and in prison he spontaneously go to him, not that manocchio asked him for protection

St laurent jr is an honorable guy and keeps his mouth shut. Did his time like a man. Lato is respected as well

Believe what you want to believe, but inside that prison he was being protected by nappy and louie trusted nappy more than some of his own people

You sound like a smart man

They send all the people waiting trial from the worcester area down wyatt. alot of fentanyl dominicans cases go federal and the few gangs they got around here. I see some of them hanging down providence an vice versa. 146 connects the 2 citys 45min. Guess its a shit hole

Good morning Providence Don 28


Your brother was a dear friend & Frankie loved him also. I believe you know what Frankie I mean. I have not been on here in a while but I think this marble guy is looking to see what people say on here or he is a cop or connected to a cop. I am not telling you what to do but from what people say on the street not one Italian guy that really matters anymore disliked Nappy. I can not say anything just looking out. People with low life beliefs prey on emotions. God bless you always may Nap Rest In Peace

I know exactly what frankie your talking about and just by you mentioning his name I know for a fact that you know what you are talking about as well....I appreciate it and thank you

A cop? GTFOH New England and go back in your hole.

How about you go talk about a subject you know about, your over here looking like a fool speaking on shit you have no clue about

Youre right idk what I'm talking about. That's why we're on a forum lol I asked a question. No one's acting a fool bro

Yea......glad were on the same page now.

St. Laurent was active on the south shore of Boston and west to like the Taunton/Raynham Dog track back when it was open it makes sense his kid would take over his rackets and his territory after his old man died. Jr. did his time and kept his mouth shut I'm sure he was welcomed into the fold.

There

St Laurent Sr. was a smart man because he called deluca for what he was, a rat way before he brought down manocchio and them with the strip club....if he had his way deluca would of been dispatched a long time ago saving alot of guys jail time

Shame the truth only came out after Deluca admitted he was a rat but at least it did come out ....as far as accusing him of continuing on working w/rats-I doubt it-everyone says he’s a smart guy...he did time willingly to get the govt off his family’s back- I’m sure he’s enjoying his family now that he’s out...

Hey New England I think Bobby Vigeant is the only real deal left

lmao lmao

Hahaha. Well I will agree with that. Bobby is one of those that lives like he matters. However, my cousin from Silver Lake put him in check very recently. You def know him. So there are guys out there who need their ego checked just a tad...It's sad Billy wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But that's a topic for another day. I'll still say to this day, Skippy is the most capable one out there who's not involved and very respected. And then you got Dino with the frog name who's a pure wanna be and hangs out with Matty G.

LMAO

You

I like Skip alot. Good guy. Maybe I'm thinking of Steven not Billy***. So I apologize on that if I got confused. I do, hes got a mean left hook....

Yes. Well I know Bobby still isn't happy about how it went. And I saw the gym footage.....

Fuck it im drunk n bored hiding on my front porch from the misses cause she said its war. I live rite up the road in wonderful worcester so i think i cant speak on my rhode island counterparts.

Slip the jab
Duck the hook

You guys make me laugh. This is more of Rhode Island gossip column than anything mafia. Guys with French and English names argue at the feast and you’re putting their shit on the internet. Dry snitching for one. And two I doubt you’d call any of those people a wannabe to their face. I’m waiting for you guys to start reminiscing about Club Confetti and your Z28’s

What’s good Russo???

Not talking bad about anyone at all. This is why I have not been on here for months. I am sure we both know all of the guys named on here. I do not knock anyone at all.

I also read about saint Jr & two other names on here from the same guy that is not nice either at least one person said the right thing

Marble know nothing is right if you are a good guy you should delete them post
