Hey All,

Frequent lurker here, not so often poster....

Randomly came across this article detailing the murder of Michael 'Mickey Rome' DiMattia - it's about ten months old and it's my first time hearing about this...tried to do a search on the forums, but nothing turned up.

Anyone have more info on this? What family was he connected to?

An article dating back to 2009 also has him as a "reputed mobster". He was arrested during a traffic stop, with assuming his girlfriend, whom was driving erratically behind the wheel. Upon stopping them, Micky DiMattia was wearing a black bathrobe, with a red scarf around his neck, and a bullet proof vest. He had three guns tucked into his waist band, and was also in possession of crack cocaine, a crack pipe, and prescription pain meds. He was also arrested in 1990 in the shooting death of a 17-year old boy, whom was shot in the head with a shotgun. He served LESS THAN A YEAR for this. Definite snitch, and the like I said, I find it hard to believe any crime family would put up with this character.


Surely doesn't seem like the type of guy a crime family would put up with.

Saw that article as well, SinatraClub. Interesting how the media keeps referring to him as a "reputed mobster" but doesn't specify his ties to any organized crime. Seems like it's a case of clickbait, perhaps.

Found this excerpt in another article:

DiMattia’s passing came just two months after he was finally out of the clutches of federal officials who controlled his life for the last six years. In the end, the former high school sports star couldn’t outrun his past legal scrapes, including a 1990 manslaughter conviction, and rumors that he was a made man.

“He talks a certain way, walks a certain way, is a tough guy and his name ends in a vowel,” said defense attorney Jerome Ballarotto, who represented DiMattia several times over the last two decades. “I have represented made guys. I know what a made guy is, and I’ve seen no evidence whatsoever that Mickey was associated with any organized crime families.”

With one year served for the murder of a 17 year old, that would raise hairs on any Mob guy, I would think. The guy had numerous, NUMEROUS petty crimes on his rap sheet, judging from some of his arrests, he was a drug user, possibly an addict. Which would make him unreliable...Yeah, I stick by my opinion.


I don't think many hardcore, older gang members would put up with him. Thats the type of shit they teach younger guys under their wing exactly what NOT to do.

Ha I agree especially these days. Total myth that these mob guys are so straight when it comes to drug use.. back in the day tg and his whole crew were coke heads... and these days I'm sure half the younger below 50 made guys probably all have pill problems... Johnny perna was a pill user and he got his button... angelesco in Boston is/was a heroin addict. So was Mark Rossetti and he was a damn skipper...
Especially these days in the tri state area with the enormous opiate epidemic these guys with the lifestyle they live are far from immune.. just look at Johnny perna frazy oxy user. Iacovo.. dead od'ed on dope. Cetta- heroin od.. and think about it.. that's just within that younger perna crew.. so imagine that in every other crew of young associates or made guys.

Even frank the bomb son Carlo was a heroin addict and rumored that was killed for this reason with an overdose.

http://gangsterreport.com/detroits-new-millennium-mob-murders/


Carlo Bommarito

At one point in time viewed as an up-and-comer in the local mafia syndicate, earning his “button” before his 30th birthday, Bommarito fell out of favor with a number of underworld factions in the Motor City later in his life, leading to his untimely demise with a needle in his arm and reputed a “hot-dose” of heroin coursing through his veins on January 20, 2007.



Bommarito was the son of former capo Frank (Frankie the Bomb) Bommarito, 85, and currently still running the streets in a solider-capacity. The FBI has heard reports that the younger Bommarito’s death was ordered by then-Detroit mafia underboss Vito (Billy Jack) Giacalone, his father’s best friend and the man who sponsored him for membership into La Cosa Nostra at a March 1995 ceremony and carried out in typical Detroit-LCN “veiled style” (throughout the years a series of local gangland hits have been staged to appear as suicides and overdoes).

Per law enforcement files and sources in the local mob, in the months leading up to Bommarito’s death, Giacalone was heard “motherfucking Carlo up and down, calling him a snitch.” In the early-1990s, both Bommaritos and Carlo’s close pal, John (Crazy Johnny) Pree, were Billy Jack’s primary representatives on the street. Carlo and Crazy Johnny were caught collecting mob-backed gambling and loansharking debts and committing arson and home invasion-scams.

Tapped with being the Detroit mob’s liaison to the local black drug gangs and aiding in his dad’s liaison duties with the area motorcycle gangs and an independent Albanian strong-arm wing, Carlo began battling an increasingly-worsening narcotics addiction and stealing money from the Italians’ joint rackets with the blacks, bikers and Albanians.

As a result of his skimming the till and the rumors that he was informing, Billy Jack was taking heat and according to police reports, sought and received Frankie the Bomb’s permission to put out the contract on 41-year old Carlo’s head. The elder Bommarito served as capo of Giacalone’s longstanding Eastside crew from 1998 until Billy Jack died in 2012 when he was demoted by Giacalone’s son, Jack (Jackie the Kid) Giacalone, the Detroit mafia’s new Godfather.

Uhm, who said anything like there aren't any mob guys whom were drug addicts? And alcoholism certainly isn't looked at as being a "drug addict" technically it's the same, but alcohol doesn't hold the same stigma in the US as cocaine or heroin, even marijuana.
