According to court documents, Mr. Comello gave detectives several different explanations for why he killed Mr. Cali. At first, he said he had been smoking marijuana in front of Mr. Cali’s home before the shooting and he did not know Mr. Cali was a reputed mobster until the next morning. He then claimed the family of John Gotti had asked him to kill Mr. Cali and had threatened to blackmail him if he did not.
Finally, Mr. Comello told detectives he had gone to Mr. Cali’s home to warn him that the Gotti family wanted to kill him. It remains unclear why Mr. Cali wound up dead in this version of Mr. Comello’s story, which a detective said in court he did not believe.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/nyregion/gambino-shooting-anthony-comello-qanon.html
