In Boston, made guy Billy Angelesco was arrested and later acquitted in the 12/8/2001 murder of strip club manager Peter DeVito in a crowded Squires strip club.

2004, Patsy Squillante found murdered in Malden, MA. He had been subpoenaed to testify in a wrongful death lawsuit for a murder that had taken place in his bar (Angelesco was a suspect in that murder as well).
