Carmine Agnello, an "ex" member of the Gambino Crime Family, has agreed to pay for the funeral services of a 9 year old girl killed in the crossfire of a gang shootout in Cleveland, Ohio.

https://www.cleveland.com/court-justice/index.ssf/2018/06/former_mafia_member_will_pay_f.html

Quote
Ian Friedman, Agnello's attorney, said Saniyah Nicholson's mother, Marshawnette Daniels, accepted the couple's offer.

"He just wants to be an example for people to step up and do the right thing," Friedman said.

Agnello has previously paid for the funerals of children who have fallen victim to gun violence, Friedman said.

Saniyah was shot about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, as she and her adult sister sat in Daniels' parked car while Daniels ran into the DNA Level Boxing Club on Lee Road near Cloverside Avenue to pick up her son.

A car sped by while Daniels was inside and opened fire on a group of people standing on the sidewalk near the gym. The two groups exchanged at least 15 shots, according to witnesses.

A bullet ripped through the windshield of Daniels' car and hit Saniyah in the forehead, killing her instantly.


A very sad story. Carmine Agnello is probably best known for being the ex-husband of Victoria Gotti and for his scrapmetal scheme in Queens. He's been trying to reinvent his image over the last few years. He got busted for running another scam in Ohio a couple years ago, but he has mostly been laying low in Cleveland, supposedly cutting ties with the mob and focusing on activism against violence with his wife. Whether or not his efforts are genuine is another story, but it's good to see him helping his community.

Maybe he can give back the money he stole from the general public most of his life, and let them make a donation to this funeral in their own names.

I guess carmine agnello isnt black enough for you. If he was black, you would be saying what a great guy he was.
He is a great guy and i should know, i kind of knew him years ago.

Agnello used to own the body shops down by the old Shea Stadium. I remember vividly the FBI busts down there, very close to my old home.

Maybe he’s generally remorseful about his past or maybe he’s still a gangster that wants to give back to the community, a la Robin Hood. Either way, a nice gesture. He’s still helping out those who need it the most.

Does this mean you think he's a great guy because he's white?

He did it for good press. Which means ultimately it was for himself.

You all realise it's house money, right? It's not actually his money, and if it was, it's dirty.

If I was the woman I'd tell him to keep his blood money, and want no part of some scumbag's PR exercise out of the Gotti playbook.

you actually believe he did it out of the kindness of his heart? the good deed will go on record and the judge will show leniency in sentencing. You would have to be crazy otherwise

You have to have an agenda of trying to get people not to believe anyone does anything good just the as it looks. His sentencing was long ago over, so you had that wrong. If you don't follow the mafia but just come on to sway opinions in a direction you set you wind up looking foolish.

I'm wise enough to know Agnello's gesture was in his own interest. Clearly not everyone is.

Whatever the case whatever his motives are

The fact is a family in need is being taken care of at a critical time when they shouldn’t even need to worry about finances

And the argument ‘well it’s stolen money’ etc. Ok sure, but at lease he’s giving back into the community. Would u rather stolen money be spent on more crime or parting/ vs helping a family. It’s a no brainer

I would feel uncomfortable accepting money from a criminal when I don't know where it has come from and how he acquired it. It's blood money, I wouldn't want it on my conscience.

While I'm at it, I'd feel uncomfortable putting my hand out for donations off strangers on the internet in the event of a tragedy or act of God.

My parents weren't rich, yet they still put myself and all my siblings through college. If I croaked this minute, I'm 99.9% sure they would pay for the funeral themselves.

20 years ago, when people died, did their family members go walking through traffic like squeegee men do, asking random strangers to pay for the funeral?

Look at what the internet has done to people.
