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.

Quote
The 37-year-old man, who was identified by police as Napoleon “Nappy” Andrade, was well-known on the street. Andrade had a violent record that included a home invasion and robbery of an elderly associate of the Gambino crime family, one of the “Five Families” of organized crime in New York.

Andrade was a large and powerfully built man, his friends said. He was strong enough to bench-press more than 400 pounds, as captured in a video on YouTube, and known as a fighter.


Quote
Andrade served time for drug trafficking, money laundering, theft of government property and federal firearm violations. While in prison in 2014, Andrade was sentenced for his role in a home invasion and robbery in 2010 of a 78-year-old man in Connecticut who was an associate of the Gambino crime family.

According to court records, the crime was planned in a dispute over a loansharking debt that grew to more than $300,000. Prosecutors said that Andrade and two other men broke into the home, blindfolded the victim and stole $200,000 worth of jewelry, more than $16,000 and a double-barreled shotgun.

Other court documents claimed that Andrade was the target of a drug trafficking investigation involving federal, state and local authorities. Andrade was also investigated for a number of unsolved homicides; an informant wearing a wire caught him saying “I smoked people,” according to court records.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Gerard Sullivan called Andrade “a career criminal and a brutal man” during his sentencing at U.S. District Court in 2014 for his role in the home invasion.

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.

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

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.

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."
