One report from the time suggested investigators believed the murder was a case of mistaken identity, perhaps by Stanfa hit men. Zagone was legitimate and had no underworld ties beyond being related to Stanfa. His co-worker, Frank Gulino, was supposed to be used by John Veasey to point out Merlino associate Anthony Valente for a hit in 1993, but Gulino didn't identify him and the hit was called off. Nothing has come out about the Zagone killing really since then.
