Anthony "Bruno" Indelicato, Dominick Trinchera, Dominick Napolitano and Louis Giongetti are listed as shooters and are sure. If you want to believe to their books also Kuklinski and Sheeran said that killed Galante.
OK so I purchased the Sixth Family. I have read up to chapter 14 so far. The Galante hit is covered, and the informant is one Frank Lino.
This Lino says the actual killer of Galante was Russel Mauro. Bruno Indelicato supposedly shot Turano and Coppola, the first a cousin and made man, the second a captain, both Bonannos. Big Trin was in the restaurant keeping everyone seated. Outside of the restaurant was Massino, Phillip Giacone, JB Indelicato, and Sonny Red.
This account is a little hard to believe. According to this account of the Galante hit, you have two obese mobsters in Big Trin and Massino, with Philip Giacone, JB Indelicato, Sonny Red, Bruno Indelicato, as well as Russell Mauro all arriving by automobile.
Now while a Mercury Montego is an awfully mean looking automobile...it could probably scare the sh-t out of Cristine, it is absolutely not holding all of those people. But supposedly another car was present to block off traffic to Knickerbocker Avenue while the hit went down. All seven people could have fit into two cars.
Why did Sal Catalano lam it to Italy for a few months right after the Galante hit? He was king of the zips on Knickerbocker. What is up with the witness account of the Galante hit where someone recalled one of the shooters yelling "Get em Sal!"?
Could Catalano have been one of the shooters?
Both of Galante's bodyguards, who joined in on the shooting, Bonventre and Amato, were both Castellammarese. This links Joe Bonnano in with Galante's financial ambitions. Joe Bonnano, Carmine Galante, and Carmine Persico attempting to form an alliance.
