I thought this guy was named Matthew Ianello. This is the place Joe Gallo was shot, right?


I lived in NYC at 10th & 51st from 1980 thru 1982. I rehabbed 177 apartment unites on Clay Ave. in The Bronx. My "Family Friends" from Pittsburgh arranged from me to meet a man named Michael at Umberto's for dinner. After dinner he drove me home and opened his trunk. I was given a large package wrapped in the Times. It contained a Colt 1911 and a 12ga. pump plus extra filled clips and several 12ga. double 00. I was told if there were any problems to have the guns run by the authorities and all would be OK.
