Supposedly Sal Catalano of the Bonannos had his captain, Pietro Licata, killed. He then took over the crew and one of the soldiers in the crew was Licata's son. I am sure that there are other examples. For instance I think that Cianglini in Philly had Frank Sindone killed and took over that crew after Sindone was killed.
