Three potential reasons:

Reason 1 - He obviously pissed a lot of people off when he was on the streets. He may have killed someone and the victim may have had a family member locked up who wanted revenge.

Reason 2 - Regardless of whether you think he was an actual snitch, or simply used Connolly for protection and never gave him real info, he was still considered a snitch by many people.

Reason 3 - Some young punk may simply have wanted some street cred for taking out a street legend. Simple as that.
