Unless they used some hood to do it for them.


It said the killer was wearing a black hoodie, not that he was black.


There's no clear description of the killer yet, but the gunman from the previous attempt was described as black or light-skinned black (possibly Dominican). I'd say there's non-Italians involved here. Either as hired muscle or as actually the ones behind it all.

Why what’s the conflict between them ?


Not sure, though it's been discussed that the Lukes in the Bronx despise the Bronx bonannos (see Enzo the baker)


Whacking a member - even a described high ranking associate - from another family out of dislike seems to be out of character for today's mob. I don't have a feeling the current scene of mobsters feel "taking over" with brute force would do any party any good.
Yet here they've been coming back time and time again to make sure at least one of the Zottola's won't see the light of day again. This was personal. They pissed someone off really bad.
