In 1988 Shorty Mascuzzio was killed in self-defense by Al Roth in the basement of Bedrox disco in Manhattan while being beaten in a shakedown attempt. He was never charged in the killing.
Thanks Bruno but in this article is wrote that was David Fisher to kill in self defence Mascuzzio.

The police arrived a little after 2:30 am. They had been called in to investigate a shooting in the basement office of the club. There, they found Fisher severely injured, and Mascuzzio lying on the floor. He had been shot twice, once in the neck and once in the body. He was very dead.Some sources claim Fisher had been pistol-whipped by Mascuzzio because the envelope wasn’t ready. He was carrying a small .32 caliber handgun, which is why Fisher survived the beating. Big, heavy gun might have killed him.
Defending himself, with his own .38 Colt Cobra revolver, he had shot the hoodlum in self-defense.
LOL.....he changed his name.
Pea Nuts in Hell’s Kitchen
Al Roth opened his club, Pea Nuts, later, changing its name to Better Days, at 316 West 49th Street, in 1972. Right in the heart of Hell’s Kitchen, one of the least salubrious districts of Manhattan, an area known then mainly for its strip clubs and rat infestation. Hookers on every corner, addicts wandering in their dreams. Playing a crucial role in establishing house music in New York, the club catered mostly to black people and was packed at weekends.
The cover fee was $3, there was a bar, a disc-jockey booth at one side, and 85% of the area was a dance floor. Some nights, especially Sundays, as many as 1500 people crowded in to listen to the music and dance until they dropped. Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, and other celebrities would visit to let their hair down when visiting the city.
Bruce Forest, a DeeJay who worked there for seven years, remembered when the owner told him, sometime in 1987, that he was changing his name. The little, pork-barrel of a man, who strutted around the club like Jimmy Cagney, said he was now calling himself David Fisher.
“I’m like, “Dude, I’ve seen your license!”
He goes, ‘If anybody asks you, that fuck Al Roth is dead.’
