We'd have to infer that both were involved with Siegel's hit--especially after they showed up at the Flamingo about an hour after he was killed--but the triggerman or men have never been identified. The movie would have us believe that Mickey Cohen pulled the trigger, but I doubt it.


I've always heard that the triggermen were Dragna people. It's always fascinated me that this one of the rare hits carried out with a rifle (in this case a military surplus M1 Carbine).
